Lacie external HDD
I recently bought a new LaCie external HDD and hooked it up to my PC
via USB 2. When I click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in my WinXP System Tray my LaCie hard drive is listed as a Seagate drive... Why is my LaCie drive showing up as a Seagate drive?

Because the DRIVE is a Seagate. Only the external casing is made by LaCie.. They buy drives from whoever offers them cheapest.. -- Tumppi ================================= A lot learned from these newsgroups Helsinki, FINLAND (translations from/to FI not always accurate =================================

Thanks for the information, Thomas!
I thought that LaCie were actually manufacturers of hard disks and not only packagers of hard disks! ;-) Thomas Wendell wrote: Because the DRIVE is a Seagate.
