 "Great drive!" 2008-09-28
By Shishkbob (Alabama, USA)
I've been using this hard drive for over 2 years now with zero problems. It is used daily as my main music, video and picture editing drive. I move gigs of files to and from it daily and it hasn't skipped a beat.



I love the all-in-one media card reader and that it works even when hard drive itself isn't on.



I don't use the software it came with to do the one touch backup as I organize and backup items manually.



It's extremely quiet and doesn't generate too much heat unlike some other drives. It's quick and responsive.

 "Happy with the drive" 2007-11-05
By EJR (California)
I've had no problems with this drive except for the loose fitting connections on the rear of the unit. I've not used the back-up software that came with the drive. I've used both the Windows Vista back-up program and third party software with no problems. I was sad to find that Western Digital no longer manufactured the drive soon after I made my purchase and would have rated it with five stars because of this fact as well as the connection problem.

 "Unreliable& undependable backup drive" 2007-10-28
By Puri (USA)
Number of reviews have been written about the problems with this drive. my addition;

Drive and configration is unreliable, as a backup drive, it is not dependable. I bought two, one failed out of the box, the other is margional. If the drive failes to connect through USB to the system as disk drive, the software backes up the information on the C drive. Assume your C drive fails, backup you thought you bought is non existant. The reliability of the configration is many times worse then internal hard drive, and it has a questional backup software.



I tried to get Western digital to help, I would have been glad to pay additionl money to understand the problem and have this beautifully packaged drive to work. No such ideas were forth comming. Enough, enough?????????????.

 "Bad electrical, died within 4 months" 2007-09-19
By Business Tech (New York)
It's a great drive as long as it works. Mine started behaving erratically and I thought the OS wasn't recognizing it. After much troublshooting, the drive told me what the problem was. It's the case, the connection to the drive inside. I am buying a new case and hoping I can still use the drive.



So my buying the extended warranty was a waste of money. I can return the drive, but I lose 200G of data. I void the warranty by opening up the case and trying to save the drive, but it's worth the gamble.



I bought 2 of these, months apart, and they both developed problems. I loved them while they lasted, but I got lemons.



UPDATE -- I bought new enclosure for the drive and it works fine, years later.
