 Rating: - if you use Windows and have large files: do this before anything elseI've been using this for a year now, and it's generally been ok. I had some issues at first where the drive wouldn't show up on my computer running XP, or the drive icon would show up and then disappear with no apparent pattern. The WD website was no help. The backup software is not helpful in my mind, though I've never found one I liked. OK, so I admit, I did not read the manual, but just plugged the drive in. One piece of advice: if you run Windows, before you do anything else, reformat ... Read More Rating:  - Only As Good As It's Owner!People! We have to remember that this is a HARD DRIVE in an external case, and it is cricically susceptible to heat!! Keep it cool and unobstructed so it will give you the service that I have always known and trusted WD to provide. No Kidding. If you don't need 500 Gb, consider the Passport Model. Much smaller, rugged and totally reliable. Rating:  - Do not buy this - you may lose dataDon't buy this if you think your power will ever go out, or you might pull the plug. My hard drive was getting full. I had lots of family photos and music files and various other stuff. So i bought the Western Digital 500GB My Book and 'moved' 62G of files onto it.

Sure I say, afterall it's a ... Read More Rating: - Avoid this product, their warranty is uselessI purchased one of these units last December for use as expansion space to hold music and photographs. It failed 5 days ago, unable to "be seen" by either my Mac or Windows computer; it worked one day, failed the next without being touched or moved; in other words, no physical damage to it by me. I had about 40 Gigs of data on this 500 Gig drive. Suspecting either the power supply or USB-to-PATA interface card, I contacted Western Digital(WD) to see what I had to do to recover my data and ... Read More Rating:  - GoodI have never had a problem with western digital/my book line. I use them in a business oriented backup system and always have worked without failure. |
