In my LaCie enclosures, yes.

la cie is well known for shitty power supplies.

only in cheap externals is that a problem.

quality enclosures rarely have power supply failures.

These two posts seem to say that LeCie is a cheap external.

In what way is a Le Cie considered "cheap"? Surely, not consider the price.

in quality.

one thing they do to differentiate themselves from the masses is have custom designs, like the porsche series or the limited edition blade runner or the stackable and colourful lego series. you can even get one made out of real gold (a 'small percentage', at least).

some people want unique looking drive enclosures and are willing to pay for it. it's a niche market, but a lucrative one. where else can you sell a product for top dollar that's built from cheap crappy parts?

a noname chinese enclosure is certainly cheaper and very likely uses the same internal crap components. it just doesn't look as nice (or ugly, depending on one's taste).
