More Compatibility, Space and Reliability.

Since 1997, LaCie d2 storage has been so dependable, so finely calibrated for high-bandwidth tasks, that creative pros have been able to focus entirely on what they do best: creating. The daisy-chain port is also a nice touch, since it gives me a bit more flexibility on my port-deprived iMac. The T3 speed was nice for the first backup, which took over 5 hours with a USB 3.0 drive, and the reliability of the LaCie drive is reassuring. The entire new backup took less than two hours and the drive has ran without a hitch since. The drive arrived in a couple days, I unpacked it, connected it up, and ran through the LaCie setup routine in about 10 minutes. I went with a LaCie drive, because they have worked before without a hitch, and the price even for the T3 was reasonable. then unable to reconnect on its own, not a good feature in a backup drive. Unfortunately, I went through two different drives, both encountering a mysterious - and apparently relatively common - iMac problem with the drives disconnecting when the drive chipset tries to sleep the drive independent of the iMac. Not wishing to spend the extra $ for T3, when I really didn't need the extra speed, I selected a replacement (from a reputable supplier) using USB 3.0 (fast enough for my application). I had to replace my old backup drive when it began to fail.
