The LaCie Porsche Design P’9230 and P’9220 hard drives are more than just a place to store your files—they’re a collaboration between one of the most renowned design firms in the world and LaCie. We first worked with Porsche in 2003 and it resulted in one of our most popular hard drives, that’s still talked about today. With the P’9230 and P’9220, we’ve combined speed, design, and technology to result in a different breed of mobile drive that’s build for performance. With the USB 3.0 interface, you’ll be able to back up your photos, exchange audio and video files with your friends, or make sure that your important files are kept safe. The possibilities are endless! In addition to Wuala online storage, LaCie Private-Public software is included on your P’9230 or P’9220. If some, or even all of your data needs to be secure, encrypted, and accessible with a password, Private-Public is the ultimate in security—personalized, customizable protection. Eco Mode lowers your drive’s power consumption when not in use—by up to 40%. As with all of our products, LaCie Backup software comes standard—making automatic backup simple.

Great buy! . I am very happy with this drive. The installation only took me a couple of minutes, I've also set up the automatic backup in literally no time. The drive is very easy to use. I like everything about this model, from the software interface to the solid aluminum enclosure, and AES-256 data encryption.

Awesome drive . This LaCie drive works and looks awesome. It runs quiet and fast, there's lots of storage space. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a quality portable drive.

Excellent product; compact and well-designed . After several years, my old exterior hard drive which I used for backing up my MacBook failed completely. It was until then very dependable, and (I thought) very compact and tidy (although it had a firewire connection and needed its own power source). So, I looked around and found this and decided to give it a try. My opinion is that it's very good.It is extremely compact and very good looking. It attaches to the MacBook using a USB 3 cable. My MacBook is not USB 3 enabled, but not a problem, inasmuch as the drive works very handily with USB 2 as well. The setup takes about 5 seconds: plug the USB port into the MacBook, plug the other, dedicated USB 3 end, to the Drive, and click. I had 58 gigs worth of data to transfer and it took a little less than an hour using Time Machine on the Mac. Since then, updates take about 30 seconds each. Works with Windows too, apparently.Verdict? I'm going to buy a second one to keep with me when I go to the office or travel.
Good But Has its Weak Points . This hard drive is definitely eye candy. It goes perfectly with the aluminum design of the Mac book Pro. It is small, holds a lot, and is relatively fast good enough for gaming. Don't expect the rubber feet that comes with it to last a week, they are rubbish. The usb seems loose, and sometimes I will move the hard drive and it will become disconnected with the computer. This is quite annoying when you are working on something or playing a game. If you havent saved, you've lost everything you were doing. I would, however definitely recommend this hard drive to fellow Mac users. It looks stunning, its worth the price, but the connection is iffy.
Best portable hard drive I have ever seen! . This LaCie Porche hard drive is perfection in any way one could measure.
The design is just a work of art, no other way to describe it. It has an elegant brushed aluminum exoskeleton, with edges that come to crisp points, and sharp corners.
You connect to your old USB 2.0 or the newer 3.0, and the drive spins up, except you can't hear or feel it. I was so vibration free, and quiet I couldn't even tell it was running, but it was, and it was blistering fast. I am not kidding here, the drive I received had ZERO vibration, and no noise, and I have never seen that in any mechanical hard drive in the 25 years I have been using them. It was almost as if it was an SSD.
On usb 2.0 on a decent Dell tower I got 33MB/sec read, and somewhat less on write. (write has to read too, which is slower for any drive). I did not have an usb 3.0 to test it on.
Drive comes formatted in NTFS, and a number of software programs.
It comes with a USB 3.0 cable, but you could use a cell phone type usb 2.0 cable (the one with the really small connector), and just connect it to the small half of the USB 3.0 socket on the drive. It will work fine.
I had no problem using the drive without any additional power source. It worked on ONE usb port. The drive ran so cool, that I could not imagine it taking too much power.
I did not use the software it came with. If you want encryption software I strongly recommend trucrypt, and use a very long password or keyfile.
Again, this drive is a work of art. LaCie you did well!
I have recently bought other portable hard drives bought from Toshiba and Western Digital both of which vibrated, made noise, and felt and looked cheap. The WD failed, and with the Toshiba 1TB is running like a weak back vibrator. It won't last either. I am now considering buying another LaCie Porche.

good . My English is not good..so..I just want to say, it looks very beautiful and concise, and use very well. I like it very much..
Reliable and very portable . I've had to do lots of travel in the past few months, so I had to find a solution for carrying around all the necessary data as well as my favorite music and recent pics. I've chosen Porsche Design because it's very durable thanks to the sturdy aluminum casing, and I can connect it to any computer via USB. The standard USB 2.0 is available on any machine, and with USB 3.0 the speed is simply amazing. I'm very happy with this drive.
Cons Review
Lovely to look at delightful to hold but instantly broken once it is sold . Went through two of these in a matter of a month before throwing in the towel and going back to Iomega. Gorgeously designed, but problems, problems, problems. I purchased the first one to use for my growing iTunes library. Having outgrown a 200gb external drive, I went with this one, but right from the start it was a problem. Every time I restarted iTunes, the location I had set for my music files (the Porsche drive) had reverted to my computer. No matter what I tried, it constantly defaulted back to the hard drive. I had never had any similar problems with any other external drive.
Finally I threw in the towel and decided to use it instead for my Mac's Time Machine. It never once completed a backup, always coming up with some sort of error message. I had never had THAT happen with any external drive. So I exchanged it for a new one. It would do a back up and then, like the one before, try and revert to the Macintosh's hard drive for Time Machine (which, of course, it can't do). Then it started to make grinding noises before breaking down completely.
I returned THIS one, bought an Iomega, and every thing has been working fine since.
Like I said, the thing is gorgeous to look at, but I can find prettier paperweights for my desk that cost a lot less.
