Well, I've own three La Cie drives and all of them have worked _great_!!
One is Cirrus 107 and the other two are their 45-meg cartridge drives.
No compability problems with any hardware/software.  No need to call
tech support because their manuals/software is sooooooo good!  BTW, if
you don't use SilverLining you're missing out!  It's suberb!  The
cartridge drives have given me no troubles what-so-ever.

Oh yeah, I forgot.  I did call tech support once.  I needed to take
out the terminator from the cartridge drive.  The guy was really helpful
and knowledgeable.  Walked me stright through the whole process - until
I had the chance to turn my Mac on and see everything come up.  I give
La Cie 5 kudos!!

You might have to be careful because all their drives (to the extent of
my knowledge) come terminated but, as you can tell, you can take them
out, if needed.  Also, the cartridge drives have this tab-kinda thing
you can hit to change the SCSI-ID, if needed.  A _lot_ easier than to
open up the drive and do it.
