Just thought that I would tell you all about this product. After buying my first 500Gb model it was flawless and was extremly quiet/ turned off to standby mode when my mac was switched off etc. The hand drive inside according to Disk Utility was Sea Gate Drive. I was so impressed that I bought annother drive exactly the same, however it went back after a week because of the noise that it was making in standby mode. On the LaCie website, they state that the hard drive is completely fan free! What a laugh, once the hard drive has parked the fan continues to run! LaCie sent me an email saying there is no fan in the D2 Quad 500Gb Drives!! After opeing the case there is an fan at the top back.
Has anyone else had similar problems. The second drive is manufactured by Samsung. Could it simply be becuase LaCie have changed hard drive makers that this problem has come about?
