Query: No good on Windows, flaky on Mac

There are a variety of folks on the net talking about the "delayed write failed" errors these drives get after a while. I had mine (I have 3) work for almost a year on WinXP before they started crapping out. Now I'm struggling just to get the data off them. And LaCie's tech support is entirely not interested. "You should reformat, that'll probably fix it." Right. Like cutting off my head will cure my headache.I used to really think LaCie made good stuff...their industrial design is certainly attractive. But their "Big Disk" products are crap, and their support is either abusively indifferent or just nonexistent. I'm hoping I can get the data off the disks and they try to get some use out of them on the Mac, but even there the one disk I reformatted has had recognition problems.
