    CNET Review

    February 2, 2007

    The Good: Fast performer; per-gigabyte price is good; lots of connection options; comes with backup software for Windows and Mac PCs.

    The Bad: Support hours are limited and customers must pay a toll for calls to support.

    The Bottom Line: The LaCie d2 Quadra is a capacious and speedy drive, with lots of connection options.
