Great Product 
by .. Lyle French (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
This is our 2nd Lacie NAS drive (1st we had the LaCie Home). This one is better! I like the fact that this drive is dead easy to set up, interesting interface to manage your settings, and it is 1TB. As others have written, it looks stylish and is very quiet.
Some things to be aware of:
1. Technical support on this is not offered by phone (you have to post a query on their site then they reply. If it is not resolved, then you can phone). I did not really like this option, but it did solve my little initial problem I had due to Windows Vista and passwords. By the way, once on the phone, the LaCie team are GREAT!
2. There is no web-interface to access the drive from the internet (if say you are traveling). You need to FTP into the drive, which is fine for me, but I am sure some maybe put off by this. The older LaCie Home version had an easy web-interface.
3. Fantastic that it has the Media Server option built in. Once I had it up and running ALL of my wireless media players (DLink, BlueRay player, etc), all found the drive and would play films or music from it. This is the best advantage as we store all music and films there for easy access.
Overall, very happy with this device!
Finally a hard drive NAS I like by .. Scott Tabbey (Stow, OH)
The reason for getting this was simple. I had to find a product that would work well with PC's and Mac's and work over my network. I've done my research and Lacie seemed like the best bet. I just got it today, and I had a little trouble setting it up. It initially wouldn't take my new password for the device. I then reset the device by holding down the power button after that, it worked. I was able to quickly set it up and start transferring my data to the drive. I turned off the light cause it was annoying to watch. The only thing I haven't been able to get working is with the Dyndns. I'm going to call back to lacie about that and will update the review when I get it fully working. Other than that, I think this drive is great and will work out well. I would definitely buy again.
It's what I wanted by .. A. Floch ()
I purchased this having had a great experience with LaCie before. I have it connected to my router and am able to access all the files on it from anywhere there is service. I enjoy the ability to have multiple users to allow unshared content as well as shared.
Pros-Clean looking, easily set up device. Being able to access this with itunes, and the gaming systems. Speed is decent for a network drive. Light can be turned off, which is nice during the night. Its usually pretty bright.
Cons-I was watching a 1080p movie and because the speed at which the drive can transfer over the net was slower than the required Mb/s it was very sloppy and I had to move it to my desktop to watch it.
Does exactly what I wanted 
by .. Jolene Martin (Charlotte, NC United States)
This NAS works great for backing up my PC's and Mac with sno leopard. Also it works great as a media server for all computers. Ive been very satisfied once I got it to work. Just had to run application on 1 computer to set up. Time machine was so easy, just a click on a box. The only problem I have is that it runs very hot. I had to make sure nothing flammable around. Actually runs cooler if set up on its side. Overall I would suggest this for people running pcs and macs on their networks. Speed seemed ok. Took 2 hrs to back up 90GB on mac time machine using wireless N. Took 3+ hrs to backup 45GB on pc using wireless G.
Some trouble using it by .. R. COHEN (New York, NY USA)
The key is that you must use this first in networked mode to set up the USB partitions, which I must have missed it from the instructions. Very compact unit otherwise and good transfer speed. but i must say it took me hours to get it to work. Another major issue is that it is quite unclear when the unit is up and running or not from the blue LED. I have almost given up using it in networked mode with my Mac as i just could not get it to run properly - probably more of an issue with the software backup on the Mac but unclear. On the other hand I just hooked up using USB (which makes it act as an external drive) and it worked quite nicely.
I have given it 4 stars as it is probably my stupidity that is making this not work properly in networked mode. I also have had this only 1 month so i cannot comment on product failure rates. I did do a lot of research prior to purchase and it seems that this unit was viewed as one of the most reliable. I really did not need software rich functionality associated with an office grade NAS - simplicity is good enough for the home.
