LaCie's hard drive POWER SUPPLIES fail like crazy. What's worse, many people may assume that their hard drive itself has failed and their data is lost. IT'S NOT — but you need to plug in a new power supply to get it back to normal.
This video lets you hear the hissing in a failed LaCie power supply that was only months old. This was taped in January 2007.
In May 2007, a 13-month-old power supply failed in the same way. It was hissing, and the blue light on the 500GB drive was constantly flashing.
LaCie has been replacing these for free. Some months ago they sent me a box of four in anticipation of more failures!
But I fear that non-techies will assume they've lost their data for good, so I wanted to post this alert. It's still there. Just call LaCie and insist on a new power supply FOR FREE!
