I have a LaCie 600MB Disk at home.  So far:

	The manuals that they produce are among the best I have seen

	Their tech support is pretty good

	Silver Lining is a VERY GOOD program

	It works with A/UX (I have found one minor bug though)

	I have only one complaint: just after I bought my disk from
		them, they shifted to another brand of disk... and the
		warrentee went from 2 years to 5 years.

	Silver Server (disk share utility) comes free with the disk

	Silver Platter (printer share) is not out yet  (they promise
		to send it when it is -- free)

I have had my disk for about 6 months.  The next disk that I buy will
probably be from them.
