2. Connecting old LaCie FW drive to new iMac/Os 10.5.1
I want to attach an aged (purchased 2001) LaCie 60GB external FW drive to a new 2.2GHz iMac running Os 10.5.1. This drive hasn't missed a beat in 6 years of constant up-time attached to a cherished PM7500 running Os 9.1 but I'm thinking I shouldn't just plug it in to the new Mac without upgrading its firmware which has never been upgraded before. Trouble is, LaCie's website gives no clues about its older products or older firmware updaters so can anyone tell me what update I need to apply - presumably as soon as the drive is connected to the new Mac? And I would hope that the drive would continue to work with Os 9 after applying the update... Thanks for any help. Stan

4. Mac OS X Panther/Lacie Hard Drive Problem
Hello every one. I'm new to this, so please bear with me. I have an iMac DVSE and recently upgraded to Mac OS X Panther and it works like a dream. Yesterday, I bought a Lacie Firewire Hard Drive (160 gb, the Porsche designed one) and currently using it to store my MP3 files). I tried to upload some of the MP3s onto my iPod (the 5GB model from a few years ago) and it causes the spinning coloured disc to come onto the screen and every thing freezes. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you guys are being total a-holes. This guy presented a valid review of a drive and did exactly what someone like me is looking for: gave me a first-hand opinion of his experience with this drive. I used to have an IBM drive with a five-year warranty from date-of-purchase. Now those were the days! MattK22, don't listen to these idiots, and thanks for taking the time to share your experience with those of us who *do* appreciate it. The rest of you melodramatic fu*x can F. off. Yeah, that means you about to comment on my comment. Just can't help yourself, can you? Go out and grab yourself a life. I was just looking for hard drive reviews and came across this nonsense. You guys sure blasted poor Matt to smithereens. I hope you're really proud of yourselves. Woo hoo. I know all the pitfalls and don't care about your lectures. Again, Matt, thanks for taking the time to share, and know there are people out there googling who are reading plenty of negative reviews about Lacie hard drives being unreliable and quickly failing. It is an industrywide problem (not just Lacie) but I certainly agree, I would think twice before buying from them (regardless of what brand is inside the case), and yes, I expect them and other companies who manufacture and/or supply hard drives to begin to answer consumer needs with more reliable backup solutions. Thanks again, Matt.
