LaCie 1TB drives; one hard drive?
So, my WD My Book Pro exploded, and I need a new drive. I'm looking a LaCie right now because the price is about right, but I DON'T WANT A DRIVE WITH TWO HARD DRIVES THAT HAVE BEEN STRIPED TOGETHER. I can't figure out which ones only contain one drive. Does anyone know which 1TB drives by LaCie contain ONLY ONE hard drive?
Thanks!
PS: If anyone knows of a better single disk 1TB solution for me, I'd be grateful as well!

weighs 5.5 pounds, while the 301827U d2 Quadra 1 TB is 1.7x6.3x6.8 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 3.31 pounds. There is no information about how many disks each drive has, but I think it's safe to say the the d2 Quadra only has one, right? It's $70 more expensive, but 4 inches shorter and over two pounds lighter. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone own these drives?
A little update... the LaCie Big Disk Extreme+ 301199U 1 TB measures in at 6.8 x 1.7 x 10.6 inches (HxWxD) and

I own an extreme 1TB drive. I can confirm that it has two drives in it.
Presently they work for 20 minutes or so until they get warm, then die again. I suspect D2 thermals aren't so clever, although they look *really* nice. No problems with any other Lacie stuff mind - I'm presently sold on an "IcyBox" product (http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=387509) that you just slot a SATA drive into the front of, and buy whatever disk you like.
Not as pretty as a D2, but economical and very straightforward.
Cheers,
Martin.
