I have some of these. Them seem ok, have not used them much.

Have one. Never liked it much though I like almost every other Lacie product.

Interesting, I just think it looks cool as hell, fitting in with a lot of the Hartmut Esslinger stuff in Appledesign. The only think that bothers me is the curvature of the front bezel, stinks of espresso.

LaCie is an interesting company, but most people do not realize that the original LaCie was bought by the french company called électronique d2 in 1995 that went on to become the present company. Both firms had some crazy industrial designs, and that tradition continues to the present albeit as a subsidiary of Seagate.

Another fun fact they used to make some crazy expensive monitors in the late 90s that were the envy of designers.

Their new big Raid series looks good:

Reminds me of the old joule line, but it is just a vertical raid tower.

Never seen one of those up close. The only Lacie stuff I have is an external DAT drive I think.

I have a bunch of Medea VideoRaid enclosures here.

It reminded me of an upended Jonathan:

I'd love to see it in platinum stripes next to my SE or SE/30. 😛h34r:

edit: Snowballed LACIE Joule stack, not an upended Jonathan. [🙂] ]'>

i saw this on the Mac Addict over 20 years ago. i know, i know, it is old, but always wanted one of them and now that i have only the base? i would love to have fully loaded with a upgraded SATA adapter and 2.5" HDD in it

LaCie certainly had some interesting designs. My personal favorite was the Backster, which mounted on the back of a compact Mac. (I've always thought that it would give enough depth, if modified, to fit the CC's CRT into another case while installed).

Anyone have the 3.5" full height X4 modules for the LaCie tower? Looking all over the place still. i have the small ones X5

I've just gotten one of these: Springtek Little Big Box 2x2

It has 6x 75GB SCSI hard discs in a RAID array (RAID 0, I reckon). the counter says 14 on it and I've never hear of RAID level 14. the volume presented is 300GB, hence the presumption of RAID 0. I need to find a manual for it though.

BTW, I have the software for LaCie Joule somewhere in my quest for Mac OS 9 RAID software.
