Customer Reviews of LaCie 250GB SATA External hard drive d2 7,200rpm w/ PCI SATA card (300742)
The world first bootable External Hard Drive, as fast as an internal! I got mine refurbished from LaCie's cite, you can save about 100 dollars that way. <
> <
>First, let me say something about external hard drives. Traditionally, they've been unable to boot from, and they're WAY WAY slower than an internal hard drive. Though its not possible to boot from a USB or Firewire external hard drive, even if you could, it would make Windows extremely slow. <
> <
>Enter LaCie's eSATA external hard drive with PCI interface. Technically, it's not external (literally it is). But because it connects via SATA which connects via PCI, it is in essence directly connected to your motherboard. Meaning it doesn't have to go through the slow bus that USB and Firewire do. <
> <
>This is the newest in external hard drive technology because it is as fast as an internal hard drive (Several times faster than USB and Firewire). <
> <
>I got 2 of these because my 20GB internal drive was full of just programs, and I was running the files off of an external LaCie USB drive. <
> <
>I cloned my hard drive onto the external, restarted, and in my BIOS changed the Hard Disk Sequence to select the LaCie (note, it won't say LaCie, it will say something like Maxtor or Seagate or something so you'll need to know your drive manufacturer's so you can tell them apart). I now boot externally, I reformatted my internal drive and am using it for storage. WOOHOO. <
> <
>PROS: LaCie must have listened to its customer's or read it's complaints. LaCie's previous hard drives got too hot. Not so with the d2. Made of vented aircraft aluminum, this drive stays cool to the touch for hours on end... it might get room temp or slightly higher, but not the blazing hot temps that gave reason to complain before. <
> <
>SPEED... try 1500Mbps interface from a 7200RPM drive. Sure, a USB or firewire might also run on a 7200RPM drive, but its pointless if your info is bottlenecked to 200-400MBps transfer at the bus, no to mention any slowing from your processor or other running programs. <
> <
>Looks: Good design, 2 positions to stand it, looks good. <
> <
>Runs: As fast as my former hard drive. It now is my central drive. <
> <
>Truly the external drive to have if your need internal speed with external conveniance. <
> <
>It may cost 30=40 dollars more than your typical external, but you gain several times the speed of thost drives as well. <
> <
>You should have a free PCI slot to instal the PCI card that comes with this drive. <
> <
>Finally, LaCie gets it right! A+ <
>Cons: None.
