I almost bought LaCie because of the styling and its long past
association with Apple, but checked the specs on several models and
they were all Maxtor inside. Both brands have bad feedback if you
look around with Google. I also had experience with a Maxtor external
drive and their Firewire bridge was so flaky that the icon would come
and go on my desktop.
I ended up with OWC. Not pretty, but with Hitachi drives. So far so
good.
