Alex,
I’ve seen every type of drive break down. Not sure what model of Lacie you’re using, but the rugged Lacie’s haven’t cause too much trouble for me, and you can get firewire with it, too. Their other drive models have broken down on me though so I feel you there. Other brands I’ve worked with that seem to hold up a bit better than some others are Seagate and Western Digital and you can find models with firewire —
Maybe somebody else will weigh in, but after three years of drive rotation/shipment, these are the ones that have held up more consistently for me.

You may want to look at G-Technology. I have a 250 Gig drive and never had any problems with it.
