LaCie's 3TB Thunderbolt/USB3 drive has very easy and clear setup utilities. I plugged it into a new iMac, using the included Thunderbolt cable, and the setup utility came up right away. They offer options to partition with shared Windows and Mac formatting, or all Windows, or all Mac. I decided to have 250 GB with Windows format and 2750 GB with Mac format -- since I sometimes run Windows 8 using VMWare and it will be handy to access the Windows partition to share more files between Mac and Windows. The big Mac partition is used as an alternate drive for Time Machine backups, saving multiple virtual hard drives for running different OSs in VMWare, manual backups for Lightroom, and a scratch drive for Photoshop.
The setup utility also offers an option to install (1) LaCie's backup utility, (2) a utility that enables you to access encrypted drive content from anywhere on the Internet, and (3) an encryption utility. The utilities are also available if you use a Windows machine. All of the utilities and the drive itself have good documentation in multiple languages, with the option to access up-to-date documentation from LaCie's site on the web. I decided to skip the backup utility, since Time Machine does a good job for what I need, and OS X 10.8 allows Time Machine to use two drives and alternate backups.

This hard drive has improved the speed of my aperture library substantially. I use to have my files in a firewire drive and the difference is notorious. I would disagree with those who think that this drive is quiet. This drive is the noisiest one I have (got 3 more).
Well built, good quality. I just wish it was a bit quieter.

I purchased this drive from my local mac store and I am very pleased. The drive transfer times are extremely fast with the thunderbolt cable. It is great too that the drive actually comes with a usb 3.0 cable and thunderbolt cable, so theres no need to purchase one. The only thing I don't particularly like about the drive is that it can be noisy from time to time and it also only has one thunderbolt port, so unfortunately you can't daisy chain drives. This is not a big deal for me but for some people it may be. Other than that its great.
