Was so excited to finally have USB 3.0 for Mac. But as you'll see their are some issues. Now you can download a driver from Lacie so that you can attach these along with their PCI-E usb 3.0 cards or their usb 3.0 expresscard/34 to your Mac ... It's all a fairly good idea. Be warned ahead of time a few things!!! One, to be fair I did know this before I bought mine, is that their USB 3.0 devices are propietary in other words you have to use Lacie products and download their Mac driver from their website not compatible with non Lacie PCI-E cards or ExpressCards/34... no big deal just buy Lacie, their most of the time good products and fairly competitive in price. However the bigger problem for me is issue number two, when I plugged in this new Lacie Rikki USB 3.0 hard drive to my mac via Lacie's USB 3.0 ExpressCard/34 it just beeped and no drive showed up. I then tried uninstalling and reinstalling their driver. Same thing it just beeped and no drive showed up, I did know the drive worked ok because it plugged into my desktop just fine but I was really bummed about it not working on my Laptop as this was the main reason I bought it! So I sent in a ticket for support via Lacie's online web support and so far what we have deduced is that there is not enough 'buspower' for my brand new Macbook pro to power this little drive and I now supposedly have to buy an additional "usb power sharing" cable from Lacie. The Lacie rep said they include it with every drive... but be warned this cable is not included with this drive. And now I'm forced into another purchase if I want to use it on my Macbook pro. I've requested that Lacie send me this cable since I had no idea I needed it, and since their rep said it was included with every drive... but we'll see. It does mention inside the box on the back of a card, "Note: Mobile drives may require additional power. Visit [...] to purchase a USB power cable for improved power." Lacie should Note: This is not visible from the outside of the box! and for their rep this cable is not included. This should also be something that Amazon makes a note of since they do not list this possible requirement anywhere in their description either. If I do get a usb power sharing cable sent to me by Lacie then I would probably throw in another star or 2 but this has been a little frustrating and I'd just like for people to know what they're getting. Other than that it seems to work fine although it is still brand new. We'll see if the usb power sharing cable allows me to use it on my laptop...Ok I'm am updating this 2 days later Lacie has been very nice and they suprised me and said that they would be happy to ship me a USB power sharing cable. It's a bummer that I've had to wait this long to use it on my Laptop but fortunately I'm not in a huge pressing need to use it right away. If your in a huge pressing need to buy this and use it on your Mac Laptop do yourself a favor and buy a USB power sharing cable from Lacie unless you can verify that it's included in the box. Hope that helps.

The measurements listed are not correct -- the height is ~0.7 in. It is thicker than the average slim external hard drive. This is due to the fact that it's a frickin' terabyte. I don't know how well padded it is internally because it has tamper-proof torx screws. There are not many enclosures out there that are metal and minimalistically attractive, the alternative I know being Iomega's Prestige Portable, but that series does not have USB 3.0 yet. Both series have plastic endcaps though. There is a power port left of the USB, power adapter is not included and not needed. There is a tiny hole right of the USB, that glows white when the drive is plugged in and blinks to indicate activity. Since it's recessed it's not an annoying strobe. The included USB 3.0 cable is 2 ft long, just right IMO.There is a simple utility on the drive to format for Windows or Mac and make one or several partitions. I would recommend formatting it yourself if you don't want a blue oval LaCie logo for an icon, it's system hidden.Performance test -- A solid 2 GB file transfered in 1:03 over USB 2.0, at a constant 33 MB/s. Transfers with many small files will be slower. Powered hard drives are generally faster.

Just got the Lacie Rikiki 1 TB USB 3.0 and it works just as expected. Phantastic transfer rates of up to 90 MB/s when transferring single 10 Gb backup files (I am using a high-end notebook with USB 3.0 so there is no restriction on that side), and creating a 100 GB data backup to that disk still transfered at ~40-50 Mb/s. USB 2.0 works with one cable on my older notebook. So the speed is great, size and design are superb (yes it is a bit thicker than usual 500 GB harddisks but it has an even smaller footprint than most of them).When you first plug it in it asks you how to partition the device (one device or addition of a small up to 32 GB Mac/Linux transfer partition, and notifies you that it WILL allow you to just wipe the disk and format it however you like with the standard windows software. Really nice, and one of the main reasons why I preferred this drive over the cheaper WD one which seems to have some annoying crippleware on it that seems to be difficult to get rid of.My main criticism is the fact that Lacie drives seem to never spin down (this is my second Lacie, the first one beeing a 3,5" 250 GB disk, and it had exactly the same problem). No matter what you do, even unmounting the drive does not set it to sleep. As long as it has power, it will keep spinning- for the desktop version even shutting down the computer did not help. At least the disks do that at a low, constant, not too annoying rate and they are quite silent. BUT I could imagine that a constantly spinning disk consumes more energy than a disk in sleep mode... so WHY, LACIE, DO YOU DO THAT?Since I am not going to let the external drive permanently connected to my computer anyway, only one star substraction for that feature. For the desktop version I would only give 3 stars since there you really don't want a drive thats keeps running even when you turn off the computer.
