Not network access and grossly overpriced (even by your admission)...talk about paying a hefty premium for appearances.
@Joseph Mahavuthivanij
Why the heck is the back so banged up?
@Keverne Thurling
Looks like someone tossed it at a wall.
@Robert Thompson
Should be thunderbolt.
@Donnacha Mac Gloinn
I'm just waiting for some decent SSD Thunderbolt drives - my iMac has an internal 2TB but I deliberately decided not to buy the internal SSD option, Thunderbolt drives should be just as fast as internal, faster if you consider that SSD speeds are improving. My plan is to use my external SSD Thunderbolt drive as my boot drive and for applications, while the internal 2TB will just be for content.
@Raymond Padilla
Hey Donny! I'm actually considering the same thing. What do you think of the LaCie Thunderbolt SSD?
@Donnacha Mac Gloinn
Hi Ray. Like all LaCie products, it charges the Apple premium but without Apple quality to justify it. All Thunderbolt SSD drives will have to incorporate the hefty license fee but I'm pretty sure that faster, higher-quality drives will soon pop up at better prices, probably soon after regular HDD capacity recovers from the floods and pricing pressure properly kicks in again on both traditional and SSD drives. A real dream would be a relatively cheap 32GB SSD drive in a simple thumb-drive form factor. With interfaces as fast as Thunderbolt, carrying your OS and apps with you could become the norm.
@Scott Lyman
Educate me, please. There have been no snarky comments, so I'll confess to being a mainstream idiot: a "7200 rpm modem"? I get that hard drives contain disks that spin, faster is better, yadda yadda. What's a 'modem' in this context?
@Ted Kopulos
A misprint. It's supposed to "7200 rpm, madam."
@Scott Lyman
@[697112290:2048:Ted Kopulos] , so I restrained my baser instincts for nothing! Nothing, Jerry!!!
@Shannon Sofield
Iomega! Whoa. Zip Drives FTW!
@Trevor Cole
Why do reviews of external drives never ever talk about the really important stuff, like "This drive falls asleep and won't listen to Mac commands to wake up"? Or "This manufacturer has a crappy reliability record"? Instead we learn that it has a nice case, and that it's just about as fast as any other drive. Without insights as to how the drive will work in the real world, reviews like this are all but useless.
@Greg Lindenbach
7200 RPM modem. Wait'll they try the 14.4. Whoooeee! Meantime, I'd consider $349 for a 2Tb SSD that didn't look like it's already bounced off the floor.
@Paul Barstow
Sounds good I needed to store all of those images somewhere and it looks like it can take a bash.
