- Installation is a snap because you don't really install this drive, you just plug it in and it's ready to use.
- Fits right in: Takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf.
- Our environmentally-friendly drive is designed to save power by going into standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity.
1TB USB 2.0-Small, simple, elegant, and very easy to use. Just plug it in, and youve got plenty of room to back up and save your valuable data, music, photos, and movies.

| It has easy drag and drop use similar to a usb drive. Works with consoles like the xbox 360. |

I had two of these, just in case one goes bad. I back up on both of them and store one at work (in case of house fire, storm, etc) in a locked file cabinet and the other at home. I bought them both in late 2008. Well, after about 1.5 years one of them went bad. When plugged into multiple computers the computers do not recognize it. I will reluctantly buy another WD because it is supposed to be good quality. Seagate does not have a good reputation. And another off brand one died on me about 2 years ago and it was under a year old. Always, always back up in more then one place, no matter where you back up. All the other attributes of this hard drive are pretty insignificant if it dies on you. When it does work, it is very nice. I don't use the enclosed software; just manage my items like any flash drive/SD card. It took probably 8 hours to initially load 200 GB of photos, but once loaded the speed is perfect.

it's a external HD to storage data, as it's a bit slow when transfering data as it's USB, not sata.
despite this, it's very good. I bought 2 others |

| I've had this drive for 16 months, using it as an extra hard drive, as my laptop does not have much room. Well, it quit. I have tried several Data Recovery companies, and have been quoted anywhere between $5000 and $16,000 for recovery, and they all stated that there is maybe a 50% chance they could recover anything. It still has partial warranty thru Western Digital, but what good does that do me when I can't retrieve what's on it ??? They themselves do not do data recovery, and only Western Digital approved companies are allowed to touch it, or the warranty is void. Now I know better to have 2 drives, one as a backup. I LOVED it before this happened. Learned my lesson. |

| I purchased two of these units to have multiple backup copies of files I've offloaded from my main computer. Good thing I did because one just died after 5 months and hardly any use. |
