They go pop in the weirdest way.
You would think a power brick going bad would just mean you can't get thing to appear on your machine wouldn't you ?
But when the LaCie bricks go this tends to mean that writing to your HD becomes very very slow, you can still read at normal speeds, so opening up a file is fine, but saving or copying to the drive is unbelievably slow.
This problem is common, I have had it twice, the power bricks are something like £35 for a replacement.
Bastards.
