LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (1TB)

Comment:
I was torn between the USB2 & USB3 model but decided to go for the new one just because of USB3. There is not much to say as it's a simple ext drive w/o junk software. It comes with a short USB3.0 cable, but micro USB2.0 cable will work too (the same one used by WD). The only con is that when Windows is shutting down, the drive won't auto disconnect and spin down first. That means the drive will click the moment the power was cut off, not impressed. This is my only ext drive with such behavior. So I will just have to click the taskbar icon and disconnect it first manually. However, sometimes the Windows just won't let you do it. How stupid. If not for this issue, I would give it 5 *.
