The editors didn't like
Apps need more modern UI (it's coming)
The LaCie Fuel doesn't have anything its competition doesn't already have
Including the Wireless Plus from Seagate
Which owns LaCie
Shorter battery life than predecessor
Wireless mode requires proprietary software
Only USB 3.0 interface
High cost per gig
A little bulky
Relatively sluggish wired transfer rates
Serious security issues seem to be overlooked in the setup process. Occasional DRM snafus prevent streaming of movies
USB cable is too short. PDF manual should be on the drive. However

The Lacie Fuel isn't a cheap product. You can pick up a standard 1TB portable drive from around $70, while the Fuel will cost you three times that. Even I, someone who thinks wires are evil, wouldn't pay that kind of premium just to avoid a USB cable conn...
Abstract: Smartphones and tablets are a great way to consume media, but with limited storage space you can't exactly build up much of a library. Fortunately there are a range of storage options that can help you manage your media on the go. Wireless portable hard d...
Unorthodox design, Competitively priced, Good battery life
Slower than the competition, bigger and heavier
The LaCIE Fuel 2TB proved to be a capable wireless hard disk drive. There's not much to complain about when it comes to storage capacity or performance but ultimately it seems that the LaCie Fuel 2TB is betting on its looks to sell. We liked As an integra...

Built-in eight-hour battery; USB 3.0
None, $249 (1TB), $329 (2TB)
There's a lot to like about the LaCie Fuel because it anticipates the needs of iGadget owners. Business travellers might prefer to opt for a travel router with attached storage, but the Fuel is a great option for iCentric families looking to hit the road ...
Abstract: With the multiples of mobile devices each of us has, there comes a time we may need to backup or offload that data to a secondary storage solution. This is especially true for those who have purchased devices that lack additional expansion. Thankfully, ma...

The LaCie Fuel doesn't have anything its competition doesn't already have, including the Wireless Plus from Seagate, which owns LaCie
Fast and easy to use, the LaCie Fuel makes another very good choice as a mobile storage solution for travelers despite having almost nothing better than its existing peer....
Unorthodox design, Competitively priced, Good battery life
Slower than the competition, bigger and heavier
The LaCie Fuel would have been a top buy if it wasn't overshadowed by its sibling, the Seagate Wireless Plus 2TB. They should in theory share the same hardware and software but somehow, the latter performs better, is smaller and lighter, can connect to m...
convenient wireless storage for mobile devices, sturdy design
expensive, can't be used to Time Machine backups
At £169.90, the Fuel is considerably more expensive than a conventional USB hard drive. However, it could earn its keep if you regularly shoot a lot of photos and videos on your iPhone or iPad. It will also be handy if you've got a lot of music and film d...
Posibilidad de crear una red Wifi, Batería integrada, Facilidad de manejo
Precio excesivo
Lacie Fuel es una excelente forma de aumentar la capacidad de nuestros dispositivos sin necesidad de cables, lo que convierte al disco duro en una unidad ideal para acompañar a tu iPhone o iPad. Es portable, muy fácil de usar y fiable. Eso sí, su preci...
