Fingerprint magnet anyone?

Very sexy hard drive though. Thinking about getting it and swapping a 2TB drive into it.. humm

That's probably the reason why they don't have actual product photos up

I have one of these. Hate it.

Yes, fingerprint magnet. More importantly, the drive isn't completely silent, and is an older Samsung inside. Makes a very quiet high pitched noise when it's spinning. It's not loud, but the frequency is particularly irritating. I wouldn't care about the silence, except that it won't spin down. Ever. You have to disconnect it or flip the rocker switch. Even using software to force it to park the head doesn't work, since it spins up again.

I bought mine a few months ago, maybe they're different drives now, but I wouldn't buy from Lacie again.

Good price though, better than what I paid. And maybe mine's defective.

EDIT: Mine's 500gig. Probably different model of drive internally. Sorry, my mistake.

Friend has an external like this, now it's a dock for him (there was a way to tear it open, with string lol)

And inside his TB is a Hitachi 1TB, specifically HDT721010SLA360, same as my HDD in my sig rig, spins 7200rpm...

Oh, trust me. It spins fast alright... .....very fast and loud.
