I have read a number of articles preaching the virtues of LaCie
hard drives.  Well, in fact, I have no bones with the drives, just
the software.

I bought SilverServer from them, and decided it was a piece of junk.
The docs. say that it might attempt to re-initialize your drive when you
install it if you have a weird hard drive.  I have a SE with a HD20, and
it got re-initialized.  Further, the whole thing crashed two days later.
There was simply no way I was going to run through the entire thing
again with my Mac II with the Apple HD40.  I returned it, and wrote
them a letter about what a hunk of junk SilverInitializer was.

Oh, yeah.  The tech support was clueless.
