Hi Neil,
LaCie is working with a lot of Pro Video resellers and Pro Video users. With more than 2M units shipped last year, we are the most visible storage company in the video market and that's why you will hear more comments about us. Hardware products can always fail but we work hard to keep the risk to a minimum.
If you have a couple d2 drives, you can just reformat them (if the drives have not been used since June 2005, please update to the latest firmware

One of our latest drives, the LaCie Little Big Disk, received a AIM Award at NAB.
Thank you.
Mat @ LaCie
