I have had a LaCie 140Meg drive in my MacII for several months now.
It works fine.  Its quiet and fast.  The only problem I had was in
the cable they sent me (it was the wrong one).  I phoned them and
they sent me a new cable within a couple of days.  By the way, I
have had it mounted vertically for a couple of months now with no
problems.  The formatting software (Silverlining) that comes with it
is very nice - especially if you want to partition and/or password
protect your disk.

A friend of mine bought a 90 Meg external drive.  He was unable to
format it for some reason.  He sent it back to LaCie and they are going
to give him a 100Meg drive instead (at no additional cost).
