LaCie Biggest F800 (1TB) Reviews

By Troy Dreier

Includes up to 2TB of storage ; delivers fast transfer rates for video and audio editing ; works with Windows and Macintosh systems ; doesn't require drivers ; includes cables for USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 ; easy access to drives for hot-swapping

Noisy fan ; no software bundle ; no printed manual ; relatively expensive

LaCie's RAID-capable external hard drive array puts an enormous amount of storage within reach of even small company budgets, but the Buffalo TeraStation offers a more compelling package at an even lower price point.

That seems to be the idea behind the LaCie Biggest F800 line, which is ideal for small companies looking to back up crucial files or for audio and video professionals who need a large amount of space to manipulate large files. Still, the LaCie...

LaCie Ethernet Disk (80GB) Reviews

By Xiao Ming Wu

Easy to use ; runs embedded Windows XP OS ; interoperable with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac operating systems ; reasonably priced

Lacks Gigabit Ethernet adapter ; offers limited expandability options ; does not support RAID ; comes with weak support package

The Ethernet Disk is a suitable means of adding storage to a small-business network, but it lacks the power and the expansion options of a full-fledged server.

LaCie hosts a few useful technical resources for the Ethernet Disk on its Web site, including a downloadable product manual, a white paper on the technologies that make up the Ethernet Disk, a product data sheet, and a series of free...

Easy to use ; runs embedded Windows XP OS ; interoperable with Windows, Linux, Unix, and Mac operating systems ; reasonably priced

Lacks Gigabit Ethernet adapter ; offers limited expandability options ; does not support RAID ; comes with weak support package

The Ethernet Disk is a suitable means of adding storage to a small-business network, but it lacks the power and the expansion options of a full-fledged server.

The Ethernet Disk is a beefed-up network-attached storage unit that that runs embedded Windows XP and comes in six different configurations, adding anywhere from 80GB to a full terabyte of disk space to your network. LaCie hosts a few useful...

LaCie Ethernet Big Disk Test Report

This NAS is best for straight-up file-sharing over a network; it lacks the broader features of other drives.

Solid industrial design ; Hassle-free setup

Software is basic, with few frills

LaCie Ethernet Big Disk

By David Murphy

The 2TB LaCie Ethernet Big Disk is appropriately named, we suppose. Other potential monikers: the LaCie Ethernet Big Headache, the LaCie Ethernet Sucks at Networking, or perhaps even the LaCie Ethernet Where Did My Drive Go. We jest, but there's truth ...

If you drag files to the folders, they copy over, giving you a speedy network backup solution

Where to begin? You'll spend as much time transferring files as you will trying to get the Ethernet Big Disk to work

The real fun comes when it's time to find the device on your network. We tried looking for it in the default MSHome network path-no luck. We tried following the manual's instructions and typed in the device's name (\\EthernetBD). Zilch. We finally ...
