[QUOTE="Deleted, post: 346106, member: 29753"] You are correct that LaCie don't make their own drives, but the electronics are good & the casings are excellent. I have a Lacie Rugged backup drive that I bought about 15 years ago & it's still great. I install many backup drives for clients & have noticed recently that the (once excellent) WD Passports, are now often failing. Also inside the Passports, it's not a regular SATA drive connection, so it's difficult to recover data. In the LaCie range, the D2 Quadra units are very tough & the Porsche Design units are also very good. A perfect backup is off site, or at least not constantly connected to the computer, so the LaCie Rugged drives are great & their rubber bumpers give them extra drop-protection. [/QUOTE]
