Have you tried formatting under Knoppix?
Not exactly, I run linux full time on my workstation and I had similar results in ubuntu with mkfs.ext2 and mkfs.ntfs.

Have you tried making 2 1TB partitions? Is the second one slow?
Yes, we do have issues with the second half of the 2tb in this fashion too.

No I have not, but that brings the point up that the lacie tool blinding updates the drive. Even if you have previously updated. This tells me theres no version check before it does anything. Anyways Ill try to contact them, perhaps they will be helpful.
