Great Reliable Hard Drive and Great Design

I've been using the Porsche Designed LaCie hard drives for years and I'm in love with them. I love the sleek metal shell and strip of light on the front. It makes for a very clean/modern look when they are stacked as well. Aside from the design, the reliability has been unmatched. I have LaCie hard drives that are 6+ years old and still running like new! These are no exception.

The Porsche of hard drives

There are cheaper drives out there, (not much cheaper) but cannot see finding one with more character. Built by a fine company, easy to install, has included some nifty software, and all the space I could need. It is fast, pops right into my 3.0 USB port, and I'm off and running. It is the vault all my stuff goes into. I still back up a lot online, but everything goes on this because it is here, its fast, and it is pretty. And it's Porsche. Sort of.
