 BAD when i got it, GREAT NOW! January 6, 2009
Jason Nguyen (socal, CA)
i bought this to store all my songs as well as bluray and HD movies. The only BAD thing about this is once you get it, you should format it because you cant store anything at once over 4gb. i dont see the reason why they wont all come formatted. i bought this and thought there was something wrong with it and was about to send it back until i did my research and discovered that it has to be formatted first!! other than that, great product.
 6 months of use and goes dead January 5, 2009

After using the drive for 6 months, the drive all of a sudden becomes unresposive basically making it dead. It made a whirling noise as if it was powering up and then becomes very silent. Western Digital makes POS UNRELIABLE portable hard drives. The data that I lost was very invaluable! I now have a Seagate portable hard drive. They're a little bit on the expensive side, but at least they have a 5 year warranty and are not made of sh%t like Western Digital!
 Great Portable Hard Drive January 4, 2009
M. A. Ramos (Florida USA)
I did not reformat like most others seem to do to NTFS. It fits my needs for back up of my laptop perfectly. I have been very pleased with its operation. I cannot hear it, it only gets slightly warm (hardly noticeably). Access times are fine, I actually play mp3's and read e-Books from it.
This is very easy to install and use. Just connect the drive to your USB port with the provided cable and it is plug-n-play. I just drag the files I want onto the portable drive icon. It comes with software that will allow back ups and sync files. But I never even tried the provided software. I am happy with the way I use it so I cannot talk to how well the provided software works. I would rather continue to just drag files onto the icon of the drive, delete that software and use the extra space.
I have a five-year-old Toshiba Satellite with a speaker system that includes a USB hub. I tired connecting the cable to the hub, but noting happened. But when I directly connected to a USB on the laptop everything worked perfect. There was no need for any additional purchase. The drive worked well with single USB connector supplied. I am very happy with this and it easily stores in one of the pockets of my laptop case.
 Handy if you skip the bundled software January 3, 2009
C. Schaefer
It's a handsome minimalist package for doing ongoing backups of your documents and software.... HOWEVER, before using the included software, know the difference between a mirror drive and a regular back-up and decide whether you should buy (or get a free download from CNET of) other backup software. Reliable hardware.
