I too had nothing but trouble with LaCie drives - also just out of warranty when problems started. My experiences with WD hard disks restored my faith in 3rd party devices as these have been flawless to date well beyond the warranty period - and hope that the experience continues.
LaCie support very responsive and willing but not actually any help in resolving the problems - external power supply units failing and HD running very hot (too hot to handle). This was prior to the exchange programme being put in place. But the volume of problems reported for certain families of LaCie devices suggests a possible QA problem.
