Desktop Computer Review: LaCie 301424U 10 TB 5big Network Hard Drive Review

I love the drive ... solid, fast, very quiet and cool for a 5TB NAS.Also the interface is excellent, well thought out, and snappy.I give the actual Network Drive itself 5 stars ... even though I think that it may be watching watching me when I work.

Customer service is just about the absolute worst in the industry ... I give them 1 star for having a phone number that actually rings, even if no one ever answers it.I sent emails, used their website question area, waited on hold for over an hour ... never got to speak to a live person, never had any of my emails returned or questions answered.

Conclusion:Averaging my product score with the customer service score, I give them THREE STARS.Great NAS, but if you feel that you may have even one question about the product that will need to be answered, buy something else ...

:-)
