Problem: A week ago, my LaCie 500 Gb hard drive disappeared from my Mac's desktop.
Solution: After trying several reboots, cables, and even a firmware update on the drive, I started searching the web. It seemed that somehow the power transformer "goes bad" over time. I have no clue how that happens; I should probably assign it as a problem to some physics students. LaCie tech support recommended that "if available, try connecting an alternate power supply of similar specifications to it. Should that work we could send you a replacement and you should still have your data." The trouble was that none of my few remaining friends had the required 12-V, 3-A power supply. Fortunately, LaCie was willing to send me one anyway and this solved the problem. The hard drive showed up immediately.
