Hi, I hate LaCie although some of their boxes look kinda slick - Porsche ;-)
But they are not meant to be opened by the user and when the drive fails you have to return them in case of failure, that's a real PITA. I managed to open one of them with a kitchen knife but the controller died in the process. They are also more expensive than the competition mostly. Better get an empty external box and fit the drive of your choice. There are great boxes out there that don't have/need a fan and can be opened and closed w/o tools. Regards, Jörg.
