Yep.  Just lost a Lacie here as well. Revolt?  Mutiny?

The drive power supply died.

I would say revolt_and_mutiny.. but when I showed up last PM, he had a brand new LaCie. Let's make fun of him.

Please do.

But first i need to know where to send a dead drive for extraction. Didn't really lose anything except for a point in time i'd like to keep. And my whole freaking Itunes list.

Thanks Terry. that's the one that keeps coming up.

I spoke to Ryan over there and he seems real cool. This is prolly a 1,700 dollar job if i decide i need any of this stuff.

Next time i'm backing up my refernce Itunes files too, it takes too long to reload the cds.

Great thread!
I just went through my first major drive failure with a 6 mos old WD160, ironically, while preparing for a backup. It seems no make or brand is bullet proof so obviously proper backup and archiving is the order of the day. FWIW, I have drives by Maxtor(3 yrs still humming), Seagate (1 yr and fine) as well.
WD service dept. was live on the phone, helpful and courteous.  The drive was replaced within 5 biz days.

For anyone here in Toronto, I've found an absolute saviour for data retrieval:

TwinBytes
Daniel Gauthier
www.twinbytes.ca

Daniel was very knowledgeable, picked up the drive at my studio, saved and transferred my data to a new drive and returned it within 3 biz days. All at a VERY reasonable rate.

Question: for those of you PC based. Do you format FAT32 or NTFS
and why...and Terry what sample rate do you record in PT?

Cheers all,
