I want to know how they're cramming 1TB into something with a 5.25" formfactor. Could Maxtor have a 500GB 7200rpm drive almost ready for production? This thing doesn't look large enough to cram four 250GB drives into it.

I wouldn't feel safe with that much data on something without redundancy like this.
about 15 years ago the devil unleashed the great evil upon the earth - kids who think spelling things LiKe THis or spelling things like zis is cool. It is to the other 14 yr olds. pr0n is a derivation of the "look at me!!! I'm cool!" way of spelling porn. I just loathe the whole generation. I'm old.
see slashdot discussion.
> I bet you the whole thing is borked when one of the drives in it dies
Lacie R&D is smoking crack.
1. U have 4 times higher failure rate (4 drive)
2. no raid = no data fail-safe reduduncy
3. $1.2 per/G for external storage ? too expensive
> Tell me when you can carry your "$300 computer, 4 $175 250gigs" in a backpack and weights less than 12lbs.
why would & when do u carry 1TB around ?
And kids, don't drop the damn thing, or the data in it will fubar.
I would rather do the following for less $
1. Buy a few external USB/firewire HD or
2. Build a server or a dell, stuff HD in it.

Portable, Rite!!!!
"Weight : 11.02 lbs. / 5000g"
This sucker weighs more than any laptop or any other portable device for that matter, at least im my humble opinion. But im not knocking this thing, who else can say they have a big honker like this. Overall opinion... Its a champaigne taste on a beer budget and beyond this its one heavy mother with a crap load of storage.

You dont have to cram that many drives in it, you just have to stick a stronger motor to spin the disks, and more disks inside with more readers. Hopefully it has like a 32 meg cache or something to make it much faster.

As for portable, NOT EVEN CLOSE! External enclosures do not travel well, we have nearly 20 at the office that have crapped out. The only ones I have seen that hold up well are the better 2.5" enclosures like the VST FireLite or FireFly.
One the price, Lacie is a "Mac" accessory. They go after Mac users in a lot of their marketing. I suppose Lacie is banking on Mac users being used to paying those kind of prices for their hardware....
Would be a cool toy though if I had money to burn 😀

I agree. I used to carry my 120GB firewire drive, but I swaped it for a 6GB 2.5" with an IBM Travelstar case. Small, portable, quick and cheap. The firewire drive only leaves the house when I have a big remove DV project. If its portability you want, get a setup like the one I listed. They're great.
Anyone who would pay >$1800 for a basic Mac is crazy (IMO)

Actually, I believe it started being spelled that way to get around the filters.
Actually, it does support RAID....just not redundant RAID. The only way you can link 4 drives together to make it look like one large drive is to use RAID. I'd never rely on this, though, unless they used RAID 5. I fix computer probs all day for work and see WAY too many hard drives dying.
