Excellent Backup for Mac PowerBook G4 (2008-09-30)
The LaCie 301280 Little Disk with FireWire is an excellent backup for the Mac PowerBook G4.
To all Mac PowerBook G4 Users: The G4 doesn't have enough power in the USB port to power an external hard drive. You must purchase an external hard drive that connects through FireWire or has an external power source.
This LaCie drive works great with my G4 through the FireWire and also with my husband's PC through the USB.
Great external, portable, bootable drive (2008-05-27)
I wanted a portable bootable external HD without any external power source (not even USB) for my Powerbook G4 aluminum (Tiger) and this LaCie Little Disk 160GB FireWire 400 works perfectly.
A stunning, fast, quiet little drive (2008-02-05)
I have used LaCie drives since the mid-eighties and have never been disappointed with product quality or service. The Little Drive 160 is no exception. About the size of an old-fashioned cigarette case and weighing-in at roughly 7 oz., the drive runs at a fast 5,700 bps on Firewire or slightly less on USB 2. It is beautifully designed and unusually quiet. While it may cost more per GB than the competition, it is a LaCie --which means product quality is better than average, that bundled software for either Windows or OSX/Mac is useful, and that service and warranty are both superior (2 years on this one). The package includes all necessary cables and a case.
As with most LaCie drives, this oe is formatted in FAT code, which means that it's plug-and-play for either Macs or most PCs. It is also fully Leopard-compatible.
In a crowded marketplace, LaCie remains at he top of the heap. Handsome, efficient and versatile -- and also perfect for travel with a laptop, the Little Drive is a little marvel. Recommended.
