Actually they didn't. It was originally the Quantum and afterwards it was the
Quantum. Quantum always offered the 5 year warranty, Lacie just changed their
policy (and agreement with Quantum I beleive) in order to pass on more of
Quantum's warranty to their customers. Pretty nice. Except I have the same
problem (two year warranty). Oh well if you wait for the "best" deal to come
along, you never will own a mac :-).
