Lost two Lacie 250’s in two days need enclosure recommendations.

[Mark Maness]

So far, G-Raids are the most reliable external drives on the market. I haven’t heard of any complaints about G-Raids.

Sorry about the problems with the Lacie drives. I have heard of similar stories with Lacie hard drives.

I use a G-tech, and I have been happy with it, and have had no problems with it thus far. I also have a friend in a recording studio who uses G-tech, also with no problems.

It’s fortunate that you could save your date.

Good luck,

Khashyar

I’ve had no problems with wiebetech.com enclosures.

We lost 2 Lacie 500 GB drives.

We only use G-Tech now – can’t recommend them enough.

For a custom enclosure I found a little gem is StorCase.com and they will make an enclosure to your specifications. Mine has run continuously for 2 years without a hiccup….I’m going to knock wood now.

What was the problem? I have had two Lacie drives fail because the firewire connections on the back came loose. A bit of soldering sorted it, but the design is flimsy to say the least…. I’ve switched to G-raid.

I’m still running six LaCie drives and will until they fail. I won’t replace them with more LaCies however. I’ve added a G-Raid and a Huge Sysrems raid in the last year. No problems with either.
