LaCie Harddisks look nice. That's because they spend quite of money on design. Wish they would spend the money on customer support instead. I bought this disk twice; the first one was broken to begin with; the second was never able to connect to both my PC and my Mac. I went through a two week customer-support process through a forum, as Lacie does not give a telephone support where I live. In the end the customer service rep became rude and blamed me. It's the last LaCie product I bought. Then bought a Freecom harddisk, which worked straight away.
