OK...we have ran Lacies rugged for the last 3-4 years with NO issues.
The G Drive Mobiles IMO are a half baked product. It's is *self powered* meaning no additional USB cord for power like some drives. HOWEVER, I am finding that with in order to even use the USB port on it, on quite a bit of laptops or even a PC -- I need to hook up the firewire to MY MBP to give it the extra power it needs in order for it to have enough power for the PC to see the damm drive.
Nontheless, it's also a tad bid slower in being recognized as whole - even FW800 direct our our Macs.
Is it just me or do you guys have glorious reviews on using this product on BOTH macs and pcs daily --- firewire and USB connections.
