Don't use this model for RAID

Pros: Silent, and fast! Works great as a backup drive or general storage.

Cons: none!

Overall Review: For those complaining of RAID problems: Read WD specs and website. This model does NOT support RAID. (No TLER) For RAID, use the WD AV-GP model drives.

Pros: Works great - however not ideal for my particular phone. Bought to see if I could use a USB keyboard with my Android phone.

Cons: Samsung Captivate: does not properly fit due to recessed microUSB port on top of phone. Only able to plug into phone by holding the adapter with one hand. Even at that point, usb keyboard was not recognized by Android 2.1. Tried various USB options on phone, etc nothing. Device saw something being plugged in, keyboard not recognized.

best drive for the money

Pros: Performance on the blue drives is surprisingly good. Using as a boot drive in my system. Stays remarkably cool: 30-32C under regular use. Drive is silent. Got it during a mother's day special for cheap. Thanks!

Cons: First drive received was defective out of the plastic. It happens. Newegg promptly shipped a replacement.

fast transfer, any operating system

Pros: Works great in Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Gets photos off of my camera light years faster than the camera's own USB connection. Saves your camera's battery use from transfers.

Cons: None
