Seagate Retail 40TB 2BIG RAID Ent. W Rescue

Le disque à peine utilisé, il ne monte plus. On ne peut même pas le reformater car il est inaccessible. LaCie, depuis qu'ils ont été racheté par Seagate, n'a plus du tout le même service après-vente. Cela sonne dans le vide, à attendre 40 minutes sans fin, plusieurs fois. Heureusement, Amazon se charge de le réparer. Mais quelle tristesse de voir LaCie sur le déclin.

As a commercial photographer, I need vast amounts of storage. I've used LaCie mirrored RAIDs for fifteen years, and It has been a love-hate relationship from the beginning. I am finally done. Nothing has ever worked out of the box. Every drive, from the first to the last requires hours of firmware updates, software, troubleshooting, etc. If you call tech support, they blame Apple... Apple blames LaCie... and nothing gets resolved. I am trying to rid myself of the older, slower drives with low capacity in favor or larger, faster drives. I purchased this 40TB beast, which (technically) would give me 20TB of mirrored storage... if the drive actually worked. After a day of trying everything, including multiple computers, multiple USB-C cables, downloading the latest LaCie RAID Manager software and trying to update the drive's firmware... nothing, nada, zilch. The drive powers up, but is never recognized by the computers. If you are looking for a $1,600 blinking blue nightlight, this is the drive for you! If, however, you want a simple solution for large, safe storage, but anything else. LaCie is to drives what McDonalds is to hamburgers... they are the most well known to consumers and they make a lot of them!.. but they suck!
