5 out of 5 stars :)   October 12, 2008
Really useful thing that can help :) I love it. And I'm going to have 1 more :)


1 out of 5 stars Died right after warranty ended.   October 12, 2008
This was a good drive, until it went belly-up about five minutes after the warranty ended. Feh. What good is a big hard drive to back up your important data if it fails that fast?


4 out of 5 stars Bad USB Cable, Good HD   October 11, 2008
This is my 4th Western Digital External HD. I could not get it to work on any of the 4 computers I have. It took me many hours of research online, calling tech support, right before I was ready to return this product, I tested with a different USB cable, viola, it worked....
Gee, would it be nice if WD use a better supplier of these USB cables?



1 out of 5 stars not reliable   October 8, 2008
I have bought four different WD external drives in this product family. Only one has been reliable. One died twice, having been "repaired" by WD while still in warranty. A second makes worrisome noise. The 1TB drives go asleep in 30 minutes after inactivity and cannot be awoken without restart.

Western digital internal drives, particularly the Raptor series, do not seem to have these reliability problems.



5 out of 5 stars Great External Hard Drive, Good Price   October 7, 2008
It is a great hard drive! It makes no noise when in operation, and I can move files from the hard drive to my computer and back very quickly. I have copied all 500 or so of my dvd movies to it and it works great, haven't even filled it up half way. one downside is that is has to be plugged in to ac outlet, but it's not a big deal. overall great deal good for anyone looking to back up their computer, store their dvd and music library, or just to transfer files to another computer.
