I'v heard so many horror stories about LaCie drives failing. I've had a 120GB drive for over 7 years with out a problem. I've also acquired 2 500GB, a 1TB, and a portable FireWire powered drive. All with no problems under heavy video editing use. Maybe I'm just lucky. I recommend them to everyone. I suppose it could just be that the people with failed drives, though in the minority, are much more vocal.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
