Lacie enjoying a good popularity, I chose this external hard drive. From the beginning it was not recognized by my laptop (recent 2 years) or my desktop PC. This signed the beginning of a great galley: returned 3 times in the workshop at my expense, does not always marching, contact technical support by email only very very long, he had to wait until April to October they sends me a new copy. I do not advise this brand. The product is also very stylish, but the edges are sharp, it is better not to have a wooden desk as he scratches everything in its path.
