LaCie has always been dreadful in my experience. Nearly every disk I had from them failed eventually.

I recently went for a G-Technology 8TB Thunderbolt disk which seems pretty good (& pretty cheap!) so far.
G-Technology hasn’t let me down yet (touch wood!)

For wireless connections, a FW800 RAID would probably suffice. For a GigE connection, go Thunderbolt for sure. But La Cie translates to "Be Careful". Some of their stuff is okay, but many of their boxes have horrible cooling problems that cause premature death.

with all the mac mini talk I noticed a lot of people use them as servers. Would love to get input on what configs work - what would be the fastest / cheapest theoretical wireless setup for a server? or if going wired how important is the switch quality? If I went mac mini with a RAID would a lacie thunderbolt big drive raid be fast / stable enough?
