I was curious if anyone here has purchased the Lacie Bigger Disk ? Pretty amazing! 1 TB of hard drive space...I might get this in replacement of what I have now for my MP3 juke box



Seems like the drives get bigger and bigger and the price just keeps coming down but with a drive this size spinning at 7200 RPM can I expect it to last?

    The 'Bigger Disk' actually has 4 250GB drives inside, and the 'Big Disk' has 2. You can't really tell from the photos, but the cases are enormous.

    I'll get excited when they great a Bigger Disk with 4 Hitachi 400GB drives.



    Mmmmmmmmm a Terabyte and a half!

    That makes sense. How loud is this monster?

    The are pretty much silent, whcih can be bad if they are running in warm environments.



    Im currently trying to get a 500gb model to be recognised by this G5 to no avail. I suspected that one of the drives in the RAID died but both spin up and both are recongnised and usable when installed in anther computer. Unfortunately there are registering at 1/2 capacity though. There is currently an operational 400gb one though and it's still working fine, but it's only a week old.
