Intuit mentions Lion compatibility, and they're horrid with mac support.. LaCie's mac support is better.. Surely they've tested it by now.
Got a tip for us?

Well now that Lion's out, no more excuse for Lacie to not have clear info on USB 3.0 compatibility.
Their latest USB 3.0 is still from December of last year, buried deeply within the site, and my Lacie USB 3.0 ExpressCard34 are still not detecting the Lacie USB 3.0 2TB drive, very frustrating.
Lacie's support's answer is very SteveJoby too: use it on a non-Lion system!! 😱

Have you this card?
Have you connected the extra power connector? I have the 2008 Mac Pro and I also want to use this card, but I am not sure where to connect the extra power connector on the board.
I want to connect my EyeTV Hybrid stick to this USB card. So I think I need the extra power connector.

My little Asus netbook already comes with two USB3 ports, and the transfer rate is very noticeably faster when using my Lacie 7200rpm USB3 external drive than when using any of my USB2 external drives.
Yes, being stuck with FW at best when you have TB onboard, that is very frustrating. Especially when you realize that as a lambda user the prices for the TB solutions will be wayyy out of your reasonable budget.
Why couldn't they just pay the license or do whatever and get up to date with USB3? In the end it's all politics, games of power and domination, and it's annoying...
