Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of LaCie iamaKey 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 130870
Customer Review: died on me after only four months, sloopy and unreliable LaCie support
Summary: 1 Stars
Before this incident I had a good opinion of Lacie. I bought the 8GB iamaKey four months ago at the Apple Store. The key, from the design prospective, is a very nice concept, plus the 8GB storage capacity and with the reputation of Lacie back then I thought it was a good deal. I used it for four months and was extremely disappointed by how terribly slow it performed.
After only four months of usage it died on me. I went to the Apple store and they did not accept to return the item even though it was still in warranty. They asked me to contact LaCie support directly. I created an account in the Lacie web site and contacted support. Lacie support keep asking for the same things again and again. I did keep the receipt and the original package, they tried to dodge me knowing that this key does not come with a serial number imprinted but appears only on the package. After 2 months sending emails to support and with long waiting delays, they finally offered a return procedure. I did what they asked me to, send the key by post and that was it, when the letter arrived to Lacie in Basel they claimed that the letter was opened and the key stolen! Their theory is that the Swiss post would open and steal a defective USB stick key ... in conclusion I lost the money. I could have contacted insurances and lawyers but it is a waste of time and energy to deal with crooks. I will never buy anything from Lacie ever again.
I now decided to make it right and after some research found this memory stick to be the best money can buy Sandisk 8GB Cruzer Titanium USB 2.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ7-8192-A11, Retail Package). I bought this one and have been using it for a week and it is extremely fast literally a bunker memory stick build in Titanium.
I really do not recommend buying any Lacie products, specially this iamaKey, specially after knowing what you will have to go through if you encounter a problem with any of their products.
Description of LaCie iamaKey 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive 130870
With the new LaCie iamaKey, inventive storage meets data protection. The key-shaped design is functional and memorable, and the protection that the LaCie iamaKey offers makes it extremely reliable. Best of all, you can fit an enormous amount of data in a small flash drive. With its eye-catching design, the iamaKey certainly stands out, but its connector (Gold SIP) is both water- and scratch-resistant, making it one of the most durable and thinnest USB keys on the market. Protective edges on the connectors ensure that you will always insert the LaCie iamaKey properly, keeping it usable and safe. With the universal Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, iamaKey can be used with both PC and Macs. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 not only offers universal compatibility and cross-platform convenience, but features a hot-pluggable connection and high-speed transfer rates, and is Windows ReadyBoost compatible. Best of all, the iamaKey is backward-compatible with USB 1.1, so you can use it on any computer. A product of the 5.5 Designers firm, the LaCie iamaKey fits in your pocket, and on your keychain, letting you take your data with you wherever you go. Another new collectible product produced in conjunction with 5.5 Designers, the iamaKey is a usable, tough USB flash drive, but with a well-developed sense of fun. Minimum System Requirements: Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, Mac OS X v10.3.5 or higher, Linux-based system. Box Contents: LaCie iamakey and cap.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
