Wireless StorageįUEL is LaCie’s external hard disk drive for iPad. There are also a few 4 TB external hard disk drive options, suitable for both desktop and mobile purposes. The range includes several 2 TB external hard disk drives, all of which are mobile options. The interface is either USB 3.0 or USB-C ports. They come in several models, with storage capacities from 120 GB to 5 TB available. LaCie’s range of personal mobile and desktop hard disk drives is called Porsche Design. The range includes models for mobile or desktop storage for both PCs and Macs as well as wireless storage for tablets. Storage capacities start at 120 GB for personal hard disk drives and up to 120 TB in those designed for professional use. LaCie manufactures external hard disk drives for both personal and professional use. Added to that is the security of knowing that your data is safe if your computer crashes. If you can afford it, it’s a good buy but since RAID isn’t a complete replacement for backing up, a cheaper non-RAID disk is better value for most people.External hard disk drives not only allow users to store much more data than is possible on just the standard internal drive on a desktop or laptop, but they also provide easier portability. At £180 or 9p per gigabyte, the Max is expensive for a 2TB disk. RAID is a useful feature to have in an external hard disk, but here you’re paying for the privilege. It’s by no means unusuably slow, but is a little disappointing nonetheless. Whether configured as RAID 0 or 1, the Max was a bit slower than we expected when writing small files. It was also very fast when connected using the other three interfaces, but with one consistent exception. When connected using eSATA, either as RAID 0 or 1, the Max was one of the fastest eSATA disks we’ve seen, excelling in all our file transfer tests. There are two FireWire 800 ports so the Max can be daisy-chained with other FireWire 800 peripherals. The Max doesn’t actually have a FireWire 400 port – to use this interface you’ll have to use a FireWire 800-to-400 adapter cable. The ‘Quadra’ part of the Max’s name refers to the fact that it can connect to your computer using one of four different interfaces – USB 2, FireWire 400, FireWire 800 or eSATA. This probably won’t bother most people who will be happy to send the entire unit back to LaCie for servicing during the warranty period, but won’t suit people who want to get back up and running as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, opening the case would void the two year warranty. Using a flathead screwdriver, the case simply flips open giving easy access to the two disks which are held in place by a couple of screws. Opening the Max to replace a failed disk is very easy.
