I have 2 la Cies on Vista and now one on Mac without problems (touch
wood - not superstitious about anything but computers). Perhaps 2 la
Cie's is a Kennedy thing! Also have a network WD that is a couple of
years old.

My daughter got the 80 gig as a backup at Uni and she is on a par with
Zoara when it comes to laptops yet the HD has given her no problems at all.

I had forgotten about my two La Cei 80gig 2.5in externals - these have
