I had a 3.5" LaCie 500gb drive. When it fell to the floor, it broke, so I sent it in for repair (Disklabs). I was told it was irrepairable because the platter gets too hot, it's the way LaCie drives are made. I lost some personal data (a Cubase song) but it was mostly on DVDs.

I'm now using a 3.5" Seagate 1TB FreeAgent. Seagate fixed a drive I had (made by them), so from my experience I'd say trust Seagate et al, and don't trust LaCie.

Oh, and I bought another FreeAgent (a duplicate of the first one) to put somewhere safe.
