Problems with XP and Firewire
First, the good news. The drive seems to work well when I use the USB cable and I haven't had any problems with the fingerprint scanner.

Now the bad news. The drive doesn't seem to work with Firewire on computers running XP. I have tried to use this drive with Firewire on multiple PCs running XP, with multiple different Firewire cables. I exchanged my first drive for a new one through Amazon, and tried again, to no avail.

I contacted Lacie customer service to try to hash out the problem. I'd give them a B+ for effort, D for results.

Bottom line, if you run XP and plan to use this with Firewire, think again. But USB seems to work OK.

Most secure drive on the market but doesn't work on PS3
I installed Yellowdog Linux for PS3 but my PS3 did not recognize the drive. I hoped that I can get it work by virtue of Wine but I watched a video post on youtube showing that Wine does not work also on PS3.

Apart from that it's a great drive. Though for maximum security, before decrypting files, it could ask for a password after reading your fingerprint.

The decryption thing takes very small time, regardless of how many and large files you have within the drive.

It recognizes fingerprints seamlessly.
