I love this drive and how quiet/fast it performs, but from the first 5 minutes of using it, I received 'drive eject' error messages on my Macbook. If the drive is moved even slightly, this error message pops up. I hope it's only the firewire, but Lacie is slow in responding and suggested I send the drive back for review. I shouldn't have to send back a drive only 2 weeks old...
