Any Advice? Build my own and install MS Home Server on it, or buy one already made and just upgrade the hard drives in them, like the HP]]>Jan 6th 2009 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/Jan 6th 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/
I have a 2big Triple from LaCie (previous gen), hooked to my AirPort Extreme base station and it's a great (and *safe*) TimeMachine storage for the computers in the house. And whenever I need to use the disk for bigger files I hook it directly to my MacBook Pro through FW800, works like a charm.

I suppose eSata in this versio nwill just make it faster for those who have eSata.

Lost data includes years worth of family photos and all of my legally obtained music files....

With data recovery quotes between $900.00 and $3000.00 I don't think I'll be purchasing another product from LaCie.

Yes, I know I should have had a better backup strategy. ]]>Jan 6th 2009 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/

Only real issue is the noise of the cooling fan. Runs all the time, and quite audible. Not obtrusive (and quiet compared to fan noise on a standard Windows PC at least) but loud enough to be distracting in the context of users used to near-silent Mac machines. So we've moved mini + disk off into a far away corner...]]>Jan 7th 2009 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/Mar 8th 2009 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/lacie-breaks-off-quad-interface-2big-quadra-raid-drive/I have the 3TB version of this drive and couldn't get it to work in
Windows XP. If you have Windows XP don't order this drive, I went
back and forth with their support and could never format this drove
for XP.
