My c.2007 d2 drives BLUE LED activity light quit blinking.
The drive boots up and works just fine
with several older Macs , here.
The LED's leed's are encapsulated in plastic or glue.
Hard to test for continuity.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J.C.
Older Macs here since 1997 <
Thru late 2009....
Thanks for this tutorial - you gave me the confidence I needed to extract the drive, with it's data, from a housing which had lost it's ability to work (not a failed external power supply problem this time). Cheers.
The beat of the music interferes with your useful commentary!
hello thanks for the tuto, well i changed the hard drive of my v2 d2quadra (originally it was a 1TB) by a 3TB, everything is ok but the vibrations of the hard drive (even when just plugged and nothing transfering) are really noisy, do you have an idea (well it's only when the support is on a table...but i will not put it in the air with long file transfer on it)
another question, is someone have the "Lacie setup" bundled with the drive
You did an awesome job of this with clear instructions--I'm not technically inclined but think maybe even I could try it! Thanks very much.
FOCUS!
already made the upgrade with a hitachi.. my quadra was purchased on 2010 and the hitachi is dec 2009. after copying around 40gb of material it starts doing a barking sound. already replaced the hitachi with another that the warranty gave me and upgraded the quadra firmware.. is this normal?
Tks to the tutorial.
How reinstall the firmware?
I have a Lacie D2 Quedra 3 TB with the disk working but a hardware problem in the case. Please could you tell me what kind of case I could get to replace the original one? The HD inside is a SATA 3,5? I just need to connect it through the USB 3 port. Thank you very much
@Superluro Yes, absolutely - that's what I did here. Been working fine here, after upgrading to a 2TB 7200 Enterprise class SATA drive. In other words, keep the enclosure, and swap the drive,just like Lacie does, when they upgrade to a different internal Hard Drive.
Can you put a 4 TB or more (GPT initialized, of course) on the Lacie NAS?
i have 250bg lacie ethernet disk mini 10/100 sg+ tw how to increase storage or which hard disk can support it
I have the same problem. Still no solution for this issue?
Where I can find the d2 thunderbolt 2 upgrade?
HI, thank you for your video..! I have two boxes, one D2 Quadra V2 like yours, and another V1 from 2 broken HD unoperative. I would like to know if today is possible to install 2 new HD inside. What could be the limmit for the new HD storage? I was tthinking in 10TB instalation...but I'am not informatic. Both boxes has thunderbolt and USB2 conection; maybe they are old conections, but if it works it wolud be fine for me. Can you support me with limit storage and possible Issues, uncompatibilitties, please..? Thank you very much
@dwiloch03 it's a flip mino - if you get too close, the focus isn't as good anymore. i didnt want to reshoot from further away.
@MrYannstube 2TB is officially the maximum, based on heat configuration and design. 64MB buffer should definitely NOT be a problem. what format did you use? (FAT, NTFS, HFS+ ?)
FOCUS!!!
@yutwob lol, i think you need better glasses or a faster internet connection. switch to hi-res...i see everything clear...
hi ! I also have the Lacie Quadra.
my 1tb has some number on the power that are not matching the 2TB i tried to install... and as the result is that it did not work...
My old broken HD reads:
RATED 5V 420mA. 12V 700mA
a 2tb that i want to put in the LACIE reads:
RATED 5V 400mA 12V 850MA
which one do you find compatible with that Lacie Quadra?
Do these information need to be the same?
thanks
Thanks. Is there a limit to the amount of TB I can replace my 2TB Lacie Quadra with?
Precisely!
See my comments above:
My 500GB LaCie d2 Quadra 301110U is one that will not accept ANY other drives!
Only the older SONY HDD it came with.
BEWARE!
J.C.
It is possible to replace a 7200rpm 500GB sata for a 2TB one? Will it work properly?
i tried WD 3Tb, same problem. I see only 801Gb. Firmware 04/02/2008.
@ebbulk In this case I picked an Enterprise 5 Platter design HArd Drive - which is a lot more reliable / better than a Seagate or Hitachi consumer drive (costs a lot more). As for consumer drives, check reviews of individual drives these days. No one manufacturer is "better" - it often depends on which model you look at. Example - i found out (speed tests) that my Hitachi 5400 laptop drive, is a lot faster than my new Seagate Momentus 7200 rpm laptop replacement drive in Mac Book Pro.
Dude, MACRO setting on the close ups please.
Can I replace the broken Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 inside of my quadra drive by an HGST Ultrastar 7K4000, 2 TB? Are theres any issues for this swap?
Im pretty sure you can put a harddisk of any brand into it, doesnt have to be seagate. but I would also recommend seagate or even better a western digital harddisk if you want high quality. but you can also just use the cheapest drive you can find tho. Make sure it comes with SATA connector and in 3,5 inch size.
Thank you very much for your reply. The reason I want to replace the broken disk by HGST, is because according to backblaze they have the lowest failure rate after being tested quite intensively. I've had some very bad luck with Seagate.
@spareassannie chill - no rush here, lol - enjoy it.
The whole video is out of focus because you're too close to the camera!🙄
Great info
@DutchDrummerNL Is it an Internal style hard drive with motherboard support? Or is this tech only limited to external devices. Because if its external then its rather limited to USB speed as thats what everyone uses, very little people have E-Sata on there computers.
Exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution ?
Is it my iPhone or is the camera out of focus?
I'm considering to upgrade my 400 gb Big Disk, which is quite similar to yours in the video. I have read that Lacie sometimes apply firmware ID locking, which would make an upgrade nearly impossible from what I have understood. Was this anything you experienced from your upgrade?
Thanks for uploading this video!
hay algo que no pusistes funciono???????
@Thecricster the limitations of the Flip Mino in close combat became apparent. Sorry :)
focus!!!!!?????
Lacie makes the best fucking hard drives
Lacie doesn't make hard drives.
Why did u pick a hitachi over a seagate? I understand that the seagate's are actually better.
What's with the techno music. Had my head boppin
@MacReviewzOnline DON'T FEED THE TROLL!!!!!!
Great info! WAY to zoomed in.
Older generation LaCie d2 Quadra 301110U 500GB machines are quite different inside.
Beware of thread sealer on at least one of the 4 drive screws.
( I had to drill one out and re-tap, later....)
And LaCie firmware that rejects non- OEM Samsung drives...
Such as Seagate and WD....
I tried 3 of each, that work in my NEWER finned body d2 just fine!
As seen here..
But not in the older smooth bodied finless 301110U....
Again....
BEWARE!
J.C.
right here baby, right here ! lol.
It's La Cie.....
French!

@JamuZ1234 lol, a boring subject indeed. some1 's gotta do it ;)
lol macs can't even support E-Sata and sata? Sata has been around forever.
I wish so badly that this wasn't so closeup that you can't see anything because I really need the help, but not only is this super uncomfortable to try and watch but all the important parts aren't shown in the picture, all you can see is the wrists of the technician and and hear him talking about it. It's the sort of video where you need to just "get it" which defeats the purpose of helping people who don't know what they're doing. Sorry, I know you were trying to help but it's pretty bad.
Content is helpful. But good Lord man! Zoom out a bit and get the focus under control. With just a little effort this could have been a decent video.
FOCUS your camera.......
i thought the hard drive dock was a toaster at first.
@tldtoday tldtoday - a guy who never opened up a computer in his life, lol. i bet it yawns you.
@kawaiiultraneo before u call someone an idiot - you should read teh reports that they work with many errors on MACS. this is an old issue... fu$kTard!
long, boring, annoying chirps, clumsy hands, poor focus, but really useful if you're like me and have tons of old Quadras. Thanks. i think.
PS. dude....even Rocky had a montage. Speed things up a bit
lol
@kawaiiultraneo TROLL!!!!!!!!!!
before you call somebody idiot you should check yourself into a clinic for whatever issues you have . i won't physically kick your wimpy butt, but do it by telling you that 3 out of the 4 eSATA chipsets have been disabled by Apple - meaning that the 3/4 express cards out there do FIT but will CORRUPT your hard drive if you connect it. There is currently one chipset and brand left that would work , it costs 199, and can be disabled by apple anytime. We have ran many tests, none worked.
Blurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry.
@CityofManhattan because you're slow in the head - and can't even write or spell, moron.
excuse me, are you just an idiot or trying to sound like one...this i how you do it !
amateur!
