The LaCie Little Disk works without the need for a cable or cumbersome power supply because it's USB 2.0 powered. That means it powers off your computer's USB port, making it an ideal travel companion and the perfect way to transfer files between your work and home computer. The integrated, extractable USB cable pulls out and retracts so it can never be lost or forgotten. And in case your computer configuration requires a longer cable, an optional USB extension cable is also included. The drive features a spin speed of 5400 rpm, an 8 MB cache, and a transfer rate of up to up to 480 Mbits per second. Included with the Little Disk are LaCie software bundles to enhance its performance and functionality. LaCieSync: Synchronization and Encryption Software allows you to transport your important data with you safely. Just plug the Mobile Disk into any PC to access and modify your files or emails, and the software will sync your updated changes back to your office or home computer. And for added security, your data is protected by 128-bit encryption (Windows only). The drive also includes LaCie's 1-Click Backup Software (for Mac and PC) and SilverKeeper Backup Software (Mac). In addition to its highly portable features, the Little Disk is also incredibly simple to operate. With plug-and-play functionality, the Little Disk can be installed by simply plugging it into your computer's existing USB port. It comes preformatted, so it can be used across multiple platforms and it's conveniently driver-free. Just plug the Little Disk into any computer to access and modify your files, emails (Microsoft Outlook) or personal settings, and it will sync updated data back to your computer quickly and securely with AES 128-bit encryption (Windows only).

The Little Disk features an elegant high-gloss, black finish with clean, simple lines. It comes with a removable protective cap that will protect the disk in your travels. Its thin, lightweight and compact form (the Little Disk measures a mere 3.19 x 5.08 x 0.71 inches and weighs less than seven ounces) allows you to easily take your photo album, MP3 library and important data wherever you go.

 Solid July 26, 2008
The design is slick, compact and elegant and with my Mac I had no issues getting the drive up and running. Transfer speeds are quick and operation is quite. Everything seems to be built with tight clearances; the protective cap fits on tightly and the retractable USB cable feels firmly anchored. I'd definitely recommend it to others.
 was not easy to install June 4, 2008

Very very disappointed. Lacie does not come with a manual, usually not a problem, except the manual provided in the software is in Adobe. What a PITA to access. When you plug the unit in you have to search through several files looking for the manual. I never found it save for the first page. I am sending the unit back after spending 45 minutes to an hour just looking for the how to use info.
Stop! Don't buy this - mine stopped working after five weeks of use! May 19, 2008
I ordered this hard drive from Amazon on April 8, 2008, and it arrived three days later. At the time of this writing - May 18, 2008 - the device has stopped working. I'll not go into the specifics, except to say that I have confirmed that it is the device which has stopped working, and not a computer problem or other cause. I have never dropped, damaged, or otherwise abused the device; it has simply failed. By way of contrast, the Western Digital hard drive I use for backup has survived for nearly three years, two external cases, and three computers, and works as well as it did the day I bought it. It has obviously been re-promoted to my primary external drive.
I'm a graduate student, and I was using this device to store some of my research and work. To put it mildly, I am distraught over this development, as I must now scramble to change deadlines in preparation of having to re-do some of my work. I have submitted a trouble report to LaCie, and pending their resolution of the issue, I will edit this review accordingly. However, I cannot recommend that anyone purchase the device after the experience I've just had. Shop with extreme caution.
1ST UPDATE: I received a hard drive back from LaCie's repair center today. I write "a" hard drive, and not "the" hard drive, because the one they sent me is not the same model as the one I originally purchased. This, in itself, is not a big deal; it's a cosmetic difference. However, the "new" hard drive doesn't work, either! It's doing the exact same thing the "old" one did!
I have already submitted a formal request to LaCie for a full refund, plus my shipping expenses. I will update this review again, pending the outcome of that exchange. However, I cannot recommend their products. Perhaps they don't fail very often - I can only speak for my experiences there -, but since the product sent back to me, supposedly having been repaired/replaced, doesn't work either, I must conclude that their customer service/repair ethos is questionable at best. Do not buy this product.
Beautiful, yet Powerful April 12, 2008
After trying 4 LaCie Porsche Design external harddrives, I decided to try adding this Little Disk drive for my laptop. What an incredible looking, elegent piece of hardware. I've gotten many compliments on it, but what is amazing is how well it does the job. I store extra music, videos, extra files,etc for travel. One of the best looking portable hard drives out there.

It's a nice drive, fast and also good looking .
The extendible USB cable is a nice thought ..
the only problem is that it immediately gets smudged by fingerprints ..
