Pros: Raid 1 redundant, this is what I have been waiting for for awhile make my needed info so much safer that before. 3 yr warranty great!!
Cons: USB 2.0 spd is lacking a little but fast enough for most back-ups it's just the initial transfer that gets you!!
Other Thoughts: Should have bought the 2 terrabyte model for $70.00 more but this one will do for the time being

nice data store
Reviewed By: on 9/4/2009
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Easy to use 500 gb RAID1 data store. It's quiet, sleeps when not in use, has a cool blue light and connects via USB. It's the perfect place to put music/pictures/backups for safe keeping. It's also portable if you want to transfer things to another system.
Cons: Nothing worth an egg. Plug the power supply into a horizontal UPS or powerstrip and it wont come loose. I leave my box on 24/7 so the extra boot time is not an issue. If you don't encrypt your files whoever steals it will have all your data.
Other Thoughts: I use this for archival purposes and it's perfect for that (no more DVD backups). If you want to access+use your data you might be happier with NAS... although I have a directory on it available to my home network for the gf to use. I just bought her one so I can stop this service ;)

Pros: Going to write first for those newbies who say it does not work work and support 64 bit windows. The cd that comes with the drive are for 32bit os only, for those with 64bit forget about the CD, you have to register the product on WD website then download the new 64bit driver and backup program. I did try using the CD but it will give me an error message, so I figure I had to go to check to see if they have for 64 bit and yes they did. So far it works great and when I add files to my internal data driver it will automatically copy those files to my WD backup.
Cons: Trying to figure out where to get the 64bit software. I just hope it won't break down
