Since I’m always recommending LaCie drives for backups and production storage here’s an announcement of the software for your drive.

LaCie Update Tool v1.3.3 is now Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) compatible and adds the latest firmware support for d2 and Design by F.A. Porsche drives with FireWire 400 and 800 and/or USB 2.0 interface.

IMPORTANT: Updating drive firmware is a critical task that should be done with attention to the included instructions. While LaCie has taken precautions to prevent data loss, be sure to have a backup copy of any important files or data before attempting to update firmware. Normally, firmware updating will not alter any data on the drive. If there are other unanticipated issues with your more…system, data loss is possible during the update process. Please proceed with caution. Be sure that your operating system is running correctly.

WHAT’S NEW Version 1.4.1: Adds the latest firmware support for d2 and Design by F.A. Porsche drives with FireWire 400 and 800 and/or USB 2.0 interface.

Read all the scary stuff in the info and be sure to back up your important files to a CD or DVD just in case. I’ve seen very few problems with LaCie drives so this would be a least a good reason to back-up your back-ups.
