FWIW:



I have what I thought was an external FW HDD made by LaCie. In checking a backup log, I noticed that my supposedly LaCie HDD is actually a Hitachi drive. Does anyone know if LaCie actually manufactures any hard drives or do they just put other drives in all their enclosures?

    You hit the nail on the head.



    Seagate, Hitachi, Toshiba, and a few others actually make the HDD ... most "brand names" like LaCie, Dell, Apple, Iomega, Phantom, etc just make window dressing (the enclosure) and package bulk purchased HDD's into them.

    Don't forget the surcharge they add on for being gracious enough to mount the drive in their FW Porsche designed enclosure...
