Hi I was just on the Lacie website, and in the clearance section they have a hard drive I am interested in.

http://www.lacie.com/products/clearance/products/?id=10007

it is the 250 GB d2 hard drive (second one down). What I am wondering, is that will this hard drive be the same as, or not as good the d2 120 GB hard drive that I already have.

See, I don't know a lot about external drives, so I'm not sure if the specs are the same. The drive I currently have works well for me, so I want to know if the one I am looking at will be the same.
 
I have a 120GB d2 that's ~2 years old, and a two-month-old 250GB d2 extreme (800Mbps Firewire, vs the - I think - 400Mbps one you're looking at).

Both have performed flawlessly and quietly. The cases are wonderful.

The drive I am looking at is actually not an extreme, so it wouldn't have firewire 800, which is fine with me. What I want to know, is if this hard drive the same but with a bigger capacity as our (it seems we both have the same 120 drive) 120 GB d2 drive.
 
Should be fine. I have a lacie d2 250 and love it.

'Extreme' just means its the updated one with a slightly higer sustained transfer speed. Mine isn't the extreme one but I still have firewire 800.

Cool that's good to know! Thanks I'll look into getting the 250 GB d2 then.

When you first open it (assuming you buy it), you'll think "why did I pay $50 for this?". But, trust me, once it's put together and holding your drives, you'll love it.

Haha I can see that, I probably won't get that though because I'm getting the 250 gig one because my dad wants to have the 120 at home for when I'm away at university, so really a rack wouldn't be SUPER usefull for one drive. 😉

Plus on top of that I'd be paying a tad more becausae I live in Canada.
 
Well I went to order the drive today, and guess what, it was gone!
Oh well, I'll just wait till summer hard drives should be cheaper by then.
 
Next time I wouldn't post the link on a forum.. I bet somebody here saw it and grabbed it. Talk about the product as new.. not linking to a one off refurb you want!

Better luck next time.
