Good with a flaw
- Pros: Lots of storage space. Good backup software program. Nice design.
- Cons: Unfortunately the computer won't start with the drive turned on. While this is a "minor" problem, since you can just turn off the drive and allow the computer to start, it kind of defeats the purpose of automated backup. So you have to remember to turn the drive back on after the computer is fully booted up.
Good External for the money
- Pros: USB2.0
640GB of storage
- Cons: Comes with FAT32 just repartition it if you want
Not that amazing writing speed but the read speed is pretty good.
no esata
Does what it's supposed to
- Pros: This 640GB HB (which actually comes out at about 600GB of usuable space) is working flawlessly, so far. I have never had an external HD, so I have nothing to compare to, but this does what I had hoped.
The driver installed itself automatically upon plugging the USB cable into my CPU. It shows in my CPU as it should. I haven't had any trouble moving things to this HD, nor playing/viewing files from it.
WD has many good reviews across the internet, so I went with this one. No downsides yet.
- Cons: One can find smaller units, but they're obviously more expensive. Also, this is USB, not fire-wire (which is a bit faster). So, these really aren't cons, but rather realities that need to be understood.
If you need a super-portable HD, this may not be the one...there are others on the market that are smaller/more compact. This HD was indended to sit on top of my CPU box as xtra storage space. For this, it's perfect.
- Other Thoughts: Once again, newegg had this item at my door on Wednesday, after ordering on Monday morning. How do they do it? Great Job New Egg.
