I have seen it happen. I agree it is sufficiently unlikely so as to be pointless for mr average, but if you have a small business and you need data backed up then the more backups the better.]]>Nov 4th 2009 9:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/
I've seen machine that have had both drives fail due to some outside source IE lighting, and some people are just rather nuts about backups. Hell if my drives die and I never made a backup well then the data was not that important. ]]>Nov 4th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/Nov 4th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/
If my house burned down, my data would be the last of my worries...]]>Nov 4th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/Nov 4th 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/Sure, you can always rebuild a house if it burns down, but can you replace a lifetime of digital memories?

A friend's house was robbed earlier this year. They took everything that wasn't nailed down, including his PCs, and all his backup gear. Along with the gear went a lifetime of photos.

I always recommend buying a $79 backup drive, and keeping it off-site. It's cheap insurance.

n.b. This was not a statement about LaCie, it's the same for all externals.

Next time, I'll spend a little more, because my data needs better protection than what LaCie is willing to provide.]]>Nov 4th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/
I'm beyond disgusted with the equipment LaCie puts out at a "premium" price. Of the 10 LaCie drives purchased by my organization over the past 2 years, 1 was still working... as of yesterday... but then it died at the end of the day. It's ridiculous. Nothing but failures from this company. I will never -ever- purchase another item from them ever again. They have ZERO tech support. You may as well call their sales staff instead since all you ever get is a pitch to buy a new power supply or a new drive all together. What about the lost data? I guess that's just TS for the customer.

phew...

I really dislike that company. I'm amazed they continue to stay in business.]]>Nov 4th 2009 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/
Why don't you just pop the drive out of the computer and put it in a pc, or if you have a laptop a friends pc to recover the data. (thats if its urgent and are not particulary bothered about having an external)]]>Nov 4th 2009 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/Nov 4th 2009 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/04/lacies-network-space-2-will-assimilate-your-data-resistance-is/
For example, an OEM Seagate might have a 3 year warranty. The same exact drive, shipped in a Lacie enclosure has a 1 year warranty because quite often (more often than not), the point of failure of the unit is the enclosure circuit board itself.
