I can't financially, but mentally I retired already. What 60-year careers could look like: thank you! I am ready to retire right now. Full Stop! Ready to work until you are 80? IT & Tech Careers I'll never get another LaCie product unless it is free. One of them was missing the hood completely, and the other was mangled beyond belief and crushed into the box. Those peices of junk come with one of those fancy schmancy hoods so your colors don't get tinted by the outside world.

I've alos got a couple of 24' LaCies, which cost $800/pc. I copied it over to a good Western Digital external drive and had no problems. I ended up cracking the case, attaching the SATA drive to my computer and booting from a Linux LIVE CD and VIOLA! There's my data. Of course, they don't believe me, and tell me that I'm going to have to send it in for service, which will guarantee me that I do NOT get me data back. They send me another power supply, and that's bad from the git-go. Then under a year later that one burns out, and I pull more teeth. The first time in my warranty period the power went bad and I had to pull teeth for 2 weeks to get them to send me a new one. I'll warn you though, the external power supplies are what goes bad. I'll look at the remnants of mine and see if I've got something that looks like that. I had a LaCie external NAS and Media server.
