Customer Reviews:
6 months of use and goes dead (2009-01-05) Rating: 1/5
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 (2009-01-04) Rating: 5/5
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 (2009-01-03) Rating: 4/5
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.
