I am currently considering one of the Lacie 80 GB models, and was
wondering if anyone had any comments on how well supported these types

Interesting idea. What is your cabling setup? How do you power?
In my experience, modern drives don't have much problems with
heat, unless they are exercised a lot. I have a USB drive which
is covered in papers on my desk, and it never gets very hot.
USB 2 is not all that slow, however.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
