-   I have a 1TB lacie harddrive.  I turned it off one day, and then when I turned my computer on it couldnt find it.  I reset everything and luckly it found it, but now has a red light.  So i didn't tun in off until I saved all my music, movies, ect.  I bought a same model, so if i doesn't work, im going to just return the broken one and said it didn't work.  They shouldn't be selling defective products.  No wonder it was so cheap. -   Guest
