I've previously found Lacie to be quite reliable.. Apart from the fact that I left my 160 Gig external drive switched on at work over the weekend, the fan siezed and the resulting increase in temperature* damaged the drive.

Not surprisingly, I came in on Monday to find the drive making an awful screech, and bringing up data errors.

There are currently around 30 computers in my office (around 15 in the office, and 16 in the lab we created by partitioning the office),no aircon, and the windows were closed so it got a little hot in the office last weekend.
