WD My Book 2TB Desktop USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Storage WDBACW0020HBK-NESN

Pros: Fast, quiet, well priced

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I received this drive as a replacement for a dying WD drive I bought from Newegg 18 mos ago. At the time WDs warranty had been reduced to one year. Because I wrote a review on Newegg unhappy with my situation, WD responded and sent me a brand new (not refurbished) USB 3.0 unit when I had RMA'd a USB 2.0. WD even paid for shipping both ways. The power of Newegg!!

I see that my new drive has a warranty of two years. Seagate still only offers one. I think I'll be sticking with WD despite the bad drive I got.

Pros: Was nice when it didn't wipe everything because you shut it down.

Cons: Had a bad habit of "forgetting" files. You would be able to run a file from the drive, and then if you shut it down and restarted in the wrong order (believe someone else mentioned that tediousness), it would still show the file on the drive but be unable to use it.

Overall Review: I ended up just taking it out of the case and hooking it up inside my PC. Quick format to get rid of all the pre-installed software and it works just fine as a plain old HDD. It is ultimately just a Caviar Green 2 TB with bad software.
