I am using the LaCie BigDrive (500 GB) wih FW 800 and 10.3.4 with no problems. Make sure (as with ANY soft- or hardware) that BEFORE you first use it you check the manufacturer's site for updates; in my case (drive bought last December) the firmware was up to date. The FW 800 Oxford chip megaproblem was real and was - they say - solved via firmware updates last fall.
Any drive requires some maintenance: for OSX the Apple Disk Utility + e.g. the free onyx for privileges repair every week or at least evey few weeks would do. At the first sign of erratic disk behavior stop and use the big guns: Diskwarrior or Drive10 (the Norton Utilities will no longer be updated as of now).
