Reviewed By: on 12/18/2009

Tech Level: average - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: was attracted by the price

Cons: should have known better. this piece of dung quit and WD is happy to replace with a refurbished piece of dung but why would I want anther version of what failed. I'd rather have my data back...hundreds of photos and thousands of songs (that I paid for). If I could give no eggs I would

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: No noise at all...very fast. Was planning to get the 320GB of the My Book but didn't have the money.

Cons: None...

Other Thoughts: This isn't mine...a friend of mine got it. I helped him set it up. I was doubtful at first, seeing that it's USB and it would be a bit slower, but I was wrong. It seems just as fast as an actual drive. Would get another one if I could.

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Excellent product, small size, quiet, gets the job done, and I like the auto-shutdown when the computer sleeps or is turned off.

Cons: NONE

Other Thoughts: I recommend using the program Second Copy with it.
