Introduction

The Lacie d2 Quadra offers something we’ve yet to see on an external backup drive – four different interfaces, including USB 2.0, FireWire in both 400 and 800 flavors, and eSata. Even better, Lacie provides cables for all these interfaces as well. It also offers several backup options, as well as the option to format a portion of the drive as a FAT32 volume to work with files from Mac OS and Linux. Though it’s a bit expensive considering the price of 500GB hard drives, the d2 is a very comprehensive backup solution with a lot of compelling features.
