LaCie vs. Iomega
OK, as some of you may know, I recently had an external HD die on me. So, I picked up 2 new ones to test drive. I have the following models:
LaCie 160GB FireWire 300702U
(http://lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10110)
Iomega 120GB USB 2.0/FireWire 32659
(http://www.iomega.com/na/products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=5274255&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=63237&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=63191&bmUID=1079717685818)
I've read a mix of reviews on both models, but the negative ones on the Iomega were VERY negative.
I'm not sure which one to keep. There are pros and cons to both: the LaCie unit has a larger capacity, but it's not designed to be portable per se; the Iomega unit feels solid and appears to be designed for portability (which is important to me), but its capacity is 75% that of the LaCie and Iomega hasn't exactly had the best reputation (speaking especially of the ZIP and Jazz drives).
Any opinions?
I'd go for the Iomega. I had an experience with their 200GB drive and in terms of speed was very good.
