1TB external bus-powered SSD drive with Thunderbolt?
I've been looking at the Lacie "Little Big Disk" which has Thunderbolt 2
and very impressive read/write rates, but it's not bus-powered, and I need a good mobile disk with preferably 1TB of storage. Any ideas? -- Sandman[.net] |

Any ideas? Every HDD failure I have experienced has been with LaCie. I have gone through several LaCie FW800 drives, they look great and construction is solid. However, their major downfall lies in the brick [ower supplies they use and the poor quality drives the hide in their great looking enclosures. I have long since stopped buying and using LaCie drive regardless of how great they look, they are sort of Ferraris, or Porches powered with a Yugo engine. I highly recommend all that OWC has to offer except LaCie. http://eshop.macsales.com ....including their Thunderbolt stuff. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Thunderbolt/ My recommendation would be to consider their Mercury On-The-Go 1TB http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other.../MOTGTBH5T1.0/ ....and they provide international shipping. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/shipping -- Regards, Savageduck |

I should be able to buy an external enclosure and put a 1TB SSD disk in it. The neat thing about the Lacie one is that it's PCIe SSD, so it's crazy fast. -- Sandman[.net] |

If they choose poor disks to cut costs, I would blame them. All my failed external drives have been Lacies. la cie doesn't make the disks. they buy them from disk manufacturers. In some cases, they do have a raid card in the enclosure, which can fail and corrupt the disks as well. they do make the power supplies though, and they're generally not that reliable. Which is why I'm looking for a bus-powered solution. -- Sandman[.net] |

If you find an external enclosure which is both Thunderbolt and bus powered, let us know. |
