5.0 out of 5 stars La Cie pocket drive
This has got to be one of the best purchases I have ever made. It integrates into any NT O.S. with out a hitch and Win 98 loves it after you install the drives. I have used it for backups and as a working drive. My mates 'ave seen the drive and are hooked.

3.0 out of 5 stars Connector unreliable
Great drive-- my first USB2 disk, but it would disconnect sometimes, and sometimes this would damage open files. In the future I am going to try and avoid "mini-B" USB connectors. I think that is the problem (no fault of Lacie per se other than choosing this connector).

2.0 out of 5 stars Amazing sleek design. Reliable. Customer service is horrible, January 13, 2004

This review is from: LACIE External 40GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive (Electronics)
It's been a month and I'm still waiting for an email response. Does not respond to new operating system. Web site upgrades are for Mac 8, 9, 10.2 but not 10.2.7 or 10.3. And customer service is no help. The USB is very slow. Like floppy disk slow. USB 2 is the new rave but only 2003 computers and up have it. So if your computer is more than a year old, think of it as a large floppy disk.

By the way, the guy who wrote the review about this drive not able to be powered by the keyboards USB port and he unplugs his printer every time he uses his hard drive--have you thought about plugging your printer to your keyboard USB?
