lacie is really good stuff - use them in the studios and heard lots of studio and video engineers swear by them for reliablity and the fact they cope well being accessed all the time etc
and its pretty cheap too
though this seagate seems a bit of a bargin, there drives are solid

our experience with lacie usb hdds hasnt been great, especially the porsche designed ones, several have had the hdd go inside them, and also the design in the way they work isnt great, with a seperate power feed in some occasions meaning you need to plug it into 2 usb sockets to get it to work.
Coupled with the fact that when the HDD's do go down, the case is sealed so u cant even change it without breaking it

must have been a bad batch, though we use the D2s and the old Blue Lacie externals, and never had a single problem - though there rarely get unplugged/hot swapped.
A flat mates external drives off ebay got trashed after unplugging them (whilst pc and drive still powered) and replugging them back in, he had to spend the next day or so trying to recover the data - was a maxtor drive in the case, which seemed to work find once in the system.
