  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I tried this version on a d2 triple interface (dual drive) enclosure. Yeah,... bricked! It was attached to a 2002 Quicksilver via FW400, and while the updater gave me a "thumbs up, you have the right hardware to use this on," the results spoke differently. When it finished, I got the dreaded "The drive attached to this system is unreadable... yada, yada, yada." I then hooked it up via FW800 to my Powerbook, and got the same notice. Then I changed to USB with the Powerbook and got a notice "The drive you have attached has limited accessability. Please back it up and reinitialize" - or something to that nature. Since I had data I wanted sitting on those drives, I got out another d2 case and put the drives in that one...surprize!... they worked fine! So...it looks like this update is a crapshoot. Ps... I put 2 new drives in the bricked d2, and all it does is continuously flash the light quickly no matter what interface I use, and Disk Utility can't see it.

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Ran the LaCie Update Tool 2.0.1 on three LaCie d2 drives connected to both Intel and PPC Macs. One machine is running latest Tiger, the other two are running 10.5.3. Some of the drives were partitioned, and one was not. I had NO issues wiht this tool.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Read the many reports of futility, thought I'd give it a try anyway since it seemed to work for one or two people. It found my d2 external drive, said I needed to update (from a 2004 v. to 2006 v.), told me to disconnect my LaCie DVD burner from the same bus (which I did), re-scanned, said it was prepared to update, if that was really what I wanted to do (having got this far, why not?), then, when I clicked on OK, nothing. Repeatedly. Thanks, LaCie.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm attempting update on G5 Dual 2 GHz PPC, OS 10.4.9. I have unplug other FireWire connections from hub leaving only the LaCie cable connected. Ran update and it finds LaCie d2 DVD-RW Firewire to update. I select "Update" and then verify that "I really want to do this." Then I get the update window again...and again...and again.... Please advise --
