Sat, 07 May 2022 19:45:51 -0700

I have a 2 tb external SSD that is giving me the error message:

(unable to write to the last block on this device)

I've performed all the usual trouble-shooting procedures (changing the port, changing the connecting cable, changing the OS from Monterey(2021 MacBook 16" ProM1) to High Sierra(2011Mac Pro w/2xXeon 3.00 64gb ecc memory) finally and I put it on a Windows 10 (Hp) still to will not format.

Thank you.

Hello - my device is 10+ years old. The port to connect the USB cord was slightly bent. I purchased a new cord and was able to insert it but I still can’t access the content on a computer. What are my options?

LaCie External Storage: LaCie Biggest Quadra 1,5TB FW800 => upgrade to 4 * 2TD SSD

Tue, 21 May 2019 13:57:56 -0700

Hi,

I’m using a LaCie Biggest Quadra 1,5TB FW800 as a TimeMachine unit (in combi with a XServe 3.1). But as data demand is growing I would like to upgrade the unit with 4 - 2TB SSD’s.

Buying a new unit is not an option as I need FW800 and the new units don’t have FW800.

My question is can a “LaCie Biggest Quadra 1,5TB FW800” be upgrade with 4 - 2TB SSD’s?

LaCie Starck Desktop Hard Drive: Want to exchange hard drive in this unit

Sun, 12 Jun 2016 08:01:27 -0700

The only issue is that the hard drive I want to replace it with comes from a LaCie blade runner, and has foil over the bottom side of it where as the one I took out of it does not. Both cases are metal, but I believe there would have been no contact between the foil and the case in the blade runner, where as there may be in this unit. I'm worried about the possibility of somehow shorting the hard drive if it comes into contact with the metal casing of its new I nclosure. Should I be insulating it with some plastic or tape or something? Or am I being paranoid and should just not worrie about it?

Thanks
