Where to buy???  Looking to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive

Hey guys,
I recently have concluded I would like to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive 320G drive to replace the EZQ drive that I bought and now is DOA. My question is however where one can find one of these drives without paying an insane amount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend buying it either on the apple store or directly from LaCie. If you want to save some money, you could try your chances on eBay but it could be risky.

  • RAID Slice Failed on my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive

    I was working in FCPX 10.8 on my Macbook Air using my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive with thunderbolt connection when I got an improper disk removal message pop up. I hadn't removed the cable and the power had been on all of the time. From then on I couldn't get my drive to mount. I was working from this drive that is RAID 0. I have also tried the drive on my imac but no joy either.
    I have used disk utility to verify and it says that all seems ok. But when you look at one of the RAID Slices it says Failed.
    See attachment:
    I have also tried Disk Warrior but it only sees the drive in the hardware section and again says that the drive appears to be functioning normally.
    Is there any way of fixing this or will I need to re format. I will lose a fairly important project if this is the case.
    Many thanks
    Sam

    Your LaCie Little Big Drive contains two 1 TB hard drives configured as a Raid 0 striped volume. I believe Raid 0 is the “as shipped” setup. It improves disk performance by splitting the data stream such that each drive only has to process half of the data.
    The downside of a Raid 0 setup is that all data will be lost if either of the drives fail. Unfortunately, that appears to be your situation as the Disk Utility screen shot shows that hard drive disk 1s2 has failed. You haven’t found any obvious problems in the troubleshooting you’ve done, so your best bet would probably be to contact LaCie and ask for their help before attempting to reformat the drive. As you know, reformatting will eliminate any possibilty of recovering your important project.
    I use a similar LaCie Thunderbolt drive configured as Raid 0 on my iMac. FCPX performance, especially playback, is far superior to my USB 2.0 external drives and somewhat better than my FW800 drive. I copy clips I’m using to the LaCie drive and keep the originals on a separate external drive. I believe this is now referred to as a “managed” library in FCPX 10.1 which, in my opinion, greatly simplifies backup and protection of one’s work.
    Good luck and please let us know if you are able to find a solution.

  • Disk Warrior and a Lacie little big drive

    Hi
    I have a 5 month old Lacie little big drive which I use for back ups etc. Yesterday I plugged it in and got the message ' The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer'
    I have tried to see what the problem is through Disk Warrior. DW takes a couple of hours rebuilding the directory structure and mounts the drive.
    The problem I have I cannot do anything with the data/drive as it is locked. I have followed the advice in the DW manual and cannot find how to unlock the drive through DU? HELP!

    At the end of the DW process, does DW permit you to review the rebuilt directory structure before committing? If so, DW will mount the disk for you to review. At that point, you should have read access to the disk as if it was a regular local volume.
    If you cannot figure out how to fix the problem, you can use that feature to copy off your data. If you have enough room on another disk, you can even make a disk image of the "for review" disk using Disk Utility. After making sure the disk image mounts, you can reformat the drive and restore from the disk image.
    I did that once when directory damage was too severe for DW to fix completely. However, it let me use that review feature to get most of my data back.

  • There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

    Hi, Everyone,
    I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
    I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
    I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
    If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
    If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of  the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
    Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
    Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
    My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
    Thanks ,Myron

    if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

  • Just put my i-tunes library on a 2nd hard drive, how do I easily change the location where the program looks for current songs from the C:/ drive to the new drive without going thru each song individually in the "get info" tab

    I just installed a new hard drive and transfered my i-tunes library to the new drive.  How can I make a bulk change of the location the program looks for the current songs.  I know you can do it song by song from the "get info" tab but I need to do it for all 4500 songs.  I have already changed the location that new files are stored to the new hard drive.

    The pop-up lets you connect to the library file, iTunes Library.itl, on the external drive. This will, in turn, automatically update the preference for the iTunes Media folder to be the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder inside the iTunes folder on the external drive and it will update the locations of all the content inside the media folder so that it uses the version on the external drive.
    This works seamlessly if all iTunes content was inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder (which was itself inside the iTunes library folder) before you moved/copied the iTunes folder. For content outside the iTunes Media folder iTunes should remain connected to the original location. These files should be consolidated (before or after the move/copy) and in addition, if available the library should be upgraded to the newer layout which places iPod Games and Mobile Applications inside the media folder instead of the library folder. (File > Library > Organize Library...)
    For split libraries there are methods to rejoin them before moving (preferred) or repairing after the fact (e.g. my script) which I can go into if needed.

  • LaCie 1TB "Big Drive" vs AEBS USB Port

    I just picked up a new LaCie 1 TB "Big Disk" to use as backup storage for my media library. Speed is not a gigantic issue for me as I plan to do the backups unattended at night. The LaCie has a "triple interface" and I have it plugged into my AEBS (firmware 7.1.1) USB 2.0 port. None of my computers on my network, wired or wireless, can "see" the LaCie. The Airport Disk Utility doesn't "see" the disk either. The Airport Extreme utility doesn't "see" the disk but I have disk sharing turned on and have enabled everything that "should" allow the disk to be visible. I've checked the disk out by plugging it into my MacPro using both FW800 and USB2 interfaces. The disk is preformatted with HFS+ and it is immediately recognized. Moreover, disk utility reports it in perfect condition.
    I'm stumped. Anything obvious I might be missing. The disk seems fine and I've had no difficulty with my AEBS after initially setting it up. I'm open to other suggestions.

    I am afraid it's not due to the USB cable.
    I bought a Lacie 2TB BIGGER DISK and had the same problem.
    Then I formatted again the disk with 4 partitions in a way to have 4 disks each under 500GB and now it works great!
    Obviously I have 4 icons to mount and 4 icons on the desktop, but all of them follow the same settings (i.e. I cannot block the access to just one of them by password).
    Does this help?

  • Izzy Tutorials Downloads -- Download to my Computer 256 SSD "Internal Drive" on my Mac Mini or to my Lacie Little Big Thunderbolt 512 SSD Dual Raid "External Drive"

    I'm starting with a blank slate and zero knowledge.
    Both my computer and external hard drive are brand new refurbs.
    I bought FCP X from the App  Store and put it on my  internal drive along with Motion and Compressor..
    I'm getting the $37 Izzy Tutorials Training Course and probably some others later on.
    Should I put them on my Internal or External Drive.
    My External has (two) 256 SSD drives built in for 512 total.
    Raid 0 Raid 1
    My Internal is 256 SSD Apple
    Thunderbolt connection.
    I know my media goes there.
    What about this Izzy Series of Download Training Stuff.
    Thanks

    Ok, Thanks
    I just clicked the "Download" and it jumped to my Downloads thing at the bottom of my computer screen.
    I hooked a Cat 6 Cable from my router to my computer for better service rather than Wifi.
    I'm hoping that after it downloads it will give me the choice to "Save" and I can then get it to go to my Lacie.
    Hoping it gives me choices as to which of the two 256 drives it has also.
    This is all new to me, Thanks

  • Formatting LaCie External Hard Drive for MAC and PC

    Hi,
    I just recently purchased a LaCie 500 GB Hard Drive from the Apple Store in order to back up and store most of my PC (Window) files. Most of my files that I need to back up are on CD, DVD, and USB mini drives. I was thinking of transferring the files through my MacBook Pro but I'm not sure how to partition the hard drive, since most of my files are generated from PC's and I would need to connect the hard drive to a PC in the future anyway.
    From what I understand, the files that I save in the Windows partition will only be recognized when on a PC, and the same for the MAC. But what about simple compatible files that are read cross platform, such as Word documents? Would I still only be able to access each file depending on the platform and the partition?
    Is there a way that I can just partition it into a single storage space – as how servers store data, regardless of whether it’s a PC or MAC file? I’m also wondering what would happen if I were to plug it into my laptop first? If it doesn’t ask me to partition the drive on my PC, will it ask me when I plug it back into the MAC afterwards? And if I partition it then, what would happen to my data?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you

    Hi, njoay
    I just moved to Mac from Windows last week onto a new MBP. I purchased a Lacie 500GB ruggedized drive. Here is what I know and tried:
    1) If you format the Lacie in Mac format, then you can't use it on a Windows machine without software eg MacDrive.
    2) If you format the Lacie in NTFS, you can only read from it when connected to Mac without other software.
    I work a lot with VMWare, so I need the LACIE to be able to connect to both PC and MAC. I found a solution from another MAC user: "Paragon NTFS for Mac OS" (see http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/) which you can purchase for US$39.
    This is what I did:
    1) connect my Lacie to my PC and formatted it in NTFS format.
    2) Installed Paragon NTFS onto my MAC
    3) Connected LACIE to Mac.
    Here are the results:
    1) Connection with USB2.0 from Lacie to Mac - it works (can read and write to LAcie formatted in NTFS)
    2) Connection with Firewire 800 from Lacie to Mac - it does NOT work. The disk gets ejected. I have logged a support call with Paragon on this issue and am waiting a reply.
    3) Connection with Firewire 400 from Lacie to Mac - have not tried it yet.
    Hope the above helps.

  • W540 - Lacie Thunderbolt Hard Drive

    I have recently purchased a Lenovo W540 which has a thunderbolt port and operating Windows 8.1 Pro. I have plugged in my Lacie – Little Big Disk which I previously purchased and used with my Mac Book Pro with no issue but upon connection I'm getting a "certified error". I am hoping if you can confirm if I can overcome this issue so I can use my thunderbolt drive on my new laptop. I have already tried downloading the driver from the Lacie support website but no luck? Any help or confirmation would be appreciated.

    hmm. perhaps the drive was designed to work only on MacOS machines? Seems stupid to limit that, but it doesn't seem like a Lenovo limitation.
    Hmm. seems to be a windows/device/BIOS thing.
    EDIT: seems that there should be a setting somewhere to change the Thunderbolt firmware permissivity

    where can buy a new ipad 4g with CDMA. looks like only the USA edition support CDMA

    You would need to purchase it within the country in which your are trying to use it. CDMA devices are tied to a specific carrier (for example, a Sprint CDMA iPhone will not work on Verizon's CDMA network). I'd contact the carrier your interested in using.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps you have purchased for your mobile device will not work on a computer. You will need to download the appropriate versions on your Mac from the Mac apps store.

  • I purchased Adobe Muse but I cannot find its serial number anywhere. Where should I look?

    I purchased Adobe Muse but I cannot find its serial number anywhere. Where should I look? I have a purchase number but I didn't receive any mails from Adobe.

    Hello,
    Muse CC does not need serial number for installation. You might be getting that prompt due to some network element blocking communication with Adobe servers.
    Please try the following:-
    1)If you are on a MAC:-
    Press Shift + Command + G(Else Finder, Go-->Go to folder) to open Go to folder.
    Type /etc and open the file called hosts.
    Check if you have any Adobe related entry in the file.
    If yes, please rename the file and check again.
    2)If you are on windows machine:-
    Go to the location:- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
    Open 'hosts' file.
    Check if you have any Adobe related entry in the file.
    If yes, please rename the file and check again.
