I'm considering the purchase of the $600 model (80 GB). The price is good, the expandability very nice.
Does anyone have any experience with this product?

I haven't used this, but I was reading all about it recently. I was also looking at the Martian NetDrive. Ultimately, though, they both seemed kinda expensive. Have you considered something like a regular internal drive or a Firewire drive with SharePoints?

Rehashing an old thread.
I was wondering about the very same thing, looking at the 250 GB version. One shop says they would not recommend it, another one would. The first one doesn´t sell it, though, so I don´t know if they are dependable.
Has anyone tried connecting it to the wireless network? Is it easy to configure and use, and reliable?

I am looking at the Lacie Ethernet Disk Mini and was wondering the same question.....does anyone have any experience w/ this disk and what do you think? Primarily, I want an external HD that I can place on a wireless network for external storage of backups, photos, video, music, etc. It would be accessed by two G4 Powerbooks.
Thanking you in advance for any information anyone can provide.

I was going to get one as I love my stack of D2s, but most of the reviews I've read say it's dog slow.

The performance of LaCie is second to last (see the competitive comparison at Tomsnetworking), well off the pace of the top-end units. The only product that it beats would run you about $180 for 250GB ($50 cheaper than LaCie).
Typicall, really, for LaCie: overpriced and underperforming.
I'd look at the second fastet model in Tomsnetworking's comparison: TRITTON TRI-NSS001 for $97.
Add a 250GB drive for $93, 300GB drive for $115, or 400GB drive for $203.
Still cheaper than the LaCie (up to $130 cheaper), and twice as fast for write performance.
