Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of LaCie Hard Disk MAX 2 TB Dual Drive RAID Hard Drive 301838U
Customer Review: Eats Upper Hard Drive Every 3 Months, DO NOT BUY!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this unit in June because I wanted a compact, convenient RAID storage solution for my large collection of documents, music, and videos. Since then I have had TWO 1 TB hard drives fail in the upper slot of this unit. The Seagate OEM drive failed in just 3 months. I've had poor experiences with Seagate in the past, so figured that it was another bum drive. I've had much better experience with Western Digital drives, and I installed a 1 TB drive in the upper slot of this unit.
After having two drives fail in this unit in less than six months it is pretty clear that the thermal design of this product is flawed. After going through two hard drives it is pretty clear that the provided fan and ventilation scheme are incapable of properly sinking heat from the upper hard drive.
I am a little bummed that I have to write this review because I've had good experiences with LaCie products in the past. I find this product extremely disappointing due to its unacceptable failure rate. I would advise anyone in the market for external storage to spend their hard-earned dollars elsewhere.
