Does the Job

Puntos Fuertes: Small, Asthetically appealling, Easy Install

Puntos Débiles: Seems Slow, Not Fully Vista Compatible

I like that this does what I bought it to do and that's backup my files, but as far as the other things it's supposed to do, it doesn't seem to work well with Vista. It seemed hard to pick the files I wanted to backup and it was very slow at backing them up. Also, Vista blocks something in the software. I don't know if it affects performance or not. Sometimes it has files waiting to backup but I...

My Book 500GB

Puntos Fuertes: Fast and reliable, 3 connection choices

Puntos Débiles: Not many extras or software included, no on/off switch

The Western Digital My Book external drives are excellent choices for backup or adding more storage space. Works with both PC and Mac, and has very good value and reliability for the price. I've been using two of these and would definately buy again. My only real complaint is the lack of a solid-state on/off switch, which basically means that the only way to have the drive not turn on with the...

Not so bad

Puntos Fuertes: It can work under three different protocols: USB, FireWire and eSATA and I have paid only 25 dollars more than for Hard Drive working under USB only

Puntos Débiles: If it is designed to work under three protocols, all cabels should be included. Actually, I was very upset to find 6 pin FireWire cable because my laptop has 4 pin port.

There is not so bad choice. After you bought all necessary cables (eSATA and FireWire 4 pin cable or adapter) you can attach it to almost any computer. It is not so heavy, so you can bring it anywhere. It has very nice shape: Just put it on your bookshelf among books or buy several of them and put them together.

It's Good...Really

Puntos Fuertes: Cool Running, Quiet. Three interfaces to choose from. Real SATA drive inside.

Puntos Débiles: Pitiful back up software. No eSata cable. (No one includes one, though)

So, you want an external hard drive for backups of all those pictures on your computer, your daughter wants to transfer her iTunes library from her Macbook to her PC laptop and your wife thinks that all of your financial records should be backed up every week. If you want to do all of that, this WD package may be for you. I've been using this drive for a couple of weeks and I have to say that...

Great External drive

Puntos Fuertes: 3 interfaces, smart power support, 3 year warranty, included USB and Firewire cables

Puntos Débiles: Little bulky, Very little documentation and no CD in the box, no eSATA cable

Overall I am happy with this drive. It has three interfaces, Firewire (1394), USB and eSATA, which is really nice since I can use one of the extra Firewire port to access the drive now. In my observations and quick search on internet, I have found that Firewire interface actually is faster then USB. So, that's what I am using. eSATA would be the fastest but I don't have that interface on my old...

Not For Dish Network DVR Back-up

Puntos Fuertes: Compact foot print, reasonable cost

Puntos Débiles: Freezes up on playback of DVR material

I purchased this drive specifically to back-up high definition recordings stored on my Dish Network ViP 622 HD DVR. I had no problem transferring and storing the recordings to the Home Book hard drive, but the movies would freeze on playback, often for 2-3 minutes at a time. In order to watch a stored movie I had to transfer it back to the DVR. With HD movies averaging 8-10 Gb in size that's a...

WD My Book fine for basic backups

Puntos Fuertes: 3 year warrenty and USB, Firewire, and eSATA connections

Puntos Débiles: No eSATA cable induded and some features do not work with eSATA.

A fine drive for basic backups. The simple and basic backup up software is included and not a 30-day trial as with some. It does not, however, have drive imaging capability. Some day maybe the they'll figure this out that this is a key backup process and should be part of the software. Not to noisy. I can hear it in a quite room a little, but in my office it mostly get lost in the background...

Nice storage

Puntos Fuertes: A lot of spaces Quick.. no lag at all

Puntos Débiles: Kind of big but not that heavy need to connect extra code for power gets hot sometimes but no problem i guess

This is a nice storage if you just use at home or office. Not recommanded for portable hard drive. Kind of bulky to carry it around. But nice Hard drive. The last one i bought from some other company was terrible. Very slow and shut down a lot. But this is way better. I recommand it.

Okay drive

Puntos Fuertes: Innovative design, quiet

Puntos Débiles: slow to cycle up.

I added two of these as backup drives. They feature a nice industrial design, I especially like the Morse Code messaging in the ventilation holes. The drive is quiet, except that both drives had a tendency to vibrate which was annoying. I had to play around with how they were placed on the credenza to finally stop the vibrations -- one of them actually had to be placed on a napkin because I...

Good price for the size

Puntos Fuertes: good size storage, easy to setup, 3 yrs warranty period, quiet.

Puntos Débiles: no power on/off button, no e-sata cable, instructions manual could be better, WD's phone support isn't that great, had to wait for a long time.

The first one that I got was a broken one. I connected it and it powered but won't get detected in my win xp. It took another hour to troubleshoot it but no luck. I connected to another laptop and still won't get detected, decided to return and exchange for another one. This time it worked just out of the box. I reformatted it to NTFS and works just fine.Now, I have a lot more space to store all...
