The editors didn't like
The LaCie Fuel doesn't have anything its competition doesn't already have
Easy to set up, Excellent wireless-streaming quality, reliability, Slick Dropbox integration, Surprising battery life
High cost per gig, A little bulky, Relatively sluggish wired transfer rates
The Fuel may cost twice what a standard 1TB external hard drive does, but its excellent-quality streaming to mobile devices, intuitive setup, and Dropbox integration make it worth the hi-test price. ...

Lots of storage, Fantastic iOS integration, Attractive rugged design, Fast USB 3.0 speeds
Shorter battery life than predecessor, Wireless mode requires proprietary software
The LaCie Fuel provides a handy 1TB of wireless storage for those on the move and an easy-to-use app....
Multiple users can connect at once, Dropbox integration, Attractive, solid design
Apps need more modern UI (it's coming)
The LaCie Fuel delivers exactly what is intended. It's not inexpensive though but if you're willing to invest the $200, you net a drive with the ability to store essentially unlimited media into something small enough to fit into an backpack or laptop...
The LaCie Fuel works well either a fast USB 3.0 portable drive or as a capable mobile Wi-Fi storage device. As the latter, it comes with a well-designed mobile app and offers long battery life
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.

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...
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...
