Question 1

Does it include a firewire cable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, firewire and USB cables are included. I've used the LaCie drives for a year now with no problems.

Question 2

Need to back up my old Imac running OS 10.7.5. Any reason why there would be a compatibility problem with this drive? It lists more recent operating systems in the tech specs.

Accepted Answer

There shouldn't be any compatibility issues between OS 10.7.5  and this drive.

However, your iMac might only have USB 2.0 ports, so data transfers between it and this drive via USB would be at 2.0 speed, not 3.0. In that case, if you're moving a large amount of data (or you're just impatient) you should use the Firewire800 connection...assuming your iMac has FW800 or you have a FW400-to-800 adapter.

Question 3

Is this thing really "orange" as stated under the options?  All of the pics show brushed aluminum.

Accepted Answer

No--not orange.  Mine looks exactly like the picture, and so did the one before that.

Question 4

Is this supports 220v power as an input? 
When I'm working abroad, I need 220v as power source.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is 110-240
