Macworld's LaCie Little Big Disk Quadra 500GB Coverage

Review: Little Big Disk Quadra 500GB LaCie’s Little Big Disk Quadra is a high capacity, portable storage device that can be powered off of a FireWire connection. It will cost you considerably more than a similar capacity desktop drive, but its RAID configuration helps keep the drive competitive with desktop drives in terms of performance.
