I ordered this external hard dive because my computer was acting up and I didn't want to lose everything if I had to reformat. I backed it all up in just a few minutes then I backed up my daughter's computer on the same hard drive. We haven't had to pull it off yet but it worked well.

I have two primary requirements for an external drive: speed and reliability. This Western Digital "My Book" drive has excelled on both counts. It has one really nice extra - it looks good. Since I know that I'm too lazy to back up my data if it requires walking across the room to get something off of a shelf, I leave this drive hooked up next to my laptop. It doesn't stand out at all, and blends in well with the pile of hardbacks nearby.Be forewarned that there are much smaller external drive options out there. This is not the drive you want if you care about portability. On the other hand, the size of the enclosure keeps the drive nice and cool and well-protected, so if you don't plan on carrying it in your messenger bag - this is the drive I recommend.

I was looking for a good, reliable external HDD basically to archive media files. I'd rigged up some home-cooked external drives using old drives and drive enclosures, but the reliability had been spotty. The price was a main factor with the My Book 500 GB; it was actually cheaper than some internal drives of the same size.Pros: The unit is elegant, relatively quiet and non-intrusive. You can leave it plugged in at all times- it powers up and down with your PC, meaning this is an external HD you can actually use like an internal drive.Cons: It gets a bit warm, and sometimes seems to spin up for no reason.Bottom line: A terrific storage option. It looks good, performs well, and is reliable. I have NEVER had a problem with WD, and have owned literally dozens of their drives.

This was brought out by WD several months ago at a hefty price tag of around 350.00 dollars. But I purchased this one for 119.00 and its a whopping 500gig external drive. I now have three of them, and all my WD hard drives work flawlessly. NICE PRODUCT AND A GREAT PRICE...AMAZON DELIVERS AGAIN..Dennis

I have now had 2 of these. And I thought I found the perfect solution for back up and one just to keep my MP3s on. And I was right. They pugged right in and just worked. Then the warranty expired and within a week of the expiration they both died. And there I was left out in the cold. Don't depend on these for more than temporary back up.

I have a portable external HD, so I basically use this new one at home. I have no complain about it so far.

I was very excited to get this product when I first bought it. Everything ran very smoothly and I could look through files quickly.After less than a year of owning this product, however, the hard drive crashed and I needed to get all of my files recovered (which we all know is expensive). If you're looking for an external hard drive, look at reviews and read them... this may not be the one you want if you're looking to own a hard drive for a long period of time.

I bought this drive as a brand-new, sealed box item, and used it infrequently for 18 months, with no real problems. Five days ago, it began emitting random sequences of two to 10 "click" sounds, several times a day. And today, it died, with all the files that once resided upon it just ... --vanishing. I'd give it an "R.I.P.", if I didn't think that it's hardly unreasonable to expect a significantly longer lifespan for a major peripheral like this; I mean, 18 MONTHS? C'MON! Apparently, Western Digital is a junk peddler. (Indeed, now that I think of it, the unit actually has a junky "feel" to it; cheap plastic, flimsy construction, and all.) Buyer beware.

I got one of these for Christmas and no sooner than when I plugged it into my computer I could start using it. It is great for storing large amounts of data, like Recorded TV Shows from Windows Media Center. It can also Be used with a PC an A MAC. Even Though IS says 500 GB there is Only 465 GB to use.

When we got the hard drive it gave us errors about the installation information being damaged, after we worked with it for a while we got it to work. It's a great product (now) and the seller got it to us really quickly and at a great price.

This is a very nice, very simple, very stable product. I just bought my fourth of these... a testimony to my happiness with the item. One problem: I had one of these take a tumble to the floor from a 30-inch work surface while operating. It sort-of worked, but was not reliable afterwards.

I purchased the WD external hard drive. I wanted to put extra music and photos on it so it would not clog up my computer. How about, I transferred my music and photos over to the drive and it lost all my information. Then, while I was trying to recover these items, it went into hibernation mode. It was so frustrating just trying to make this thing work properly that I returned it and got my money back. In my opinion, I made a mistake buying this thing and I would not purchase this particular hard drive. Your mileage may vary. NEOSOUL06

My my book crashed within a few months. The customer service never picks up the phone. It just keeps ringing. The enclosure is sealed so I can't check open it unless I want to void the warranty, which I will do tommorrow.If you buy this product just keep your fingers crossed that you will never need customer support. Warranty is meaningless.

I purchased 2 of these and connected them to my pc's, and configured weekly back ups of all of my files.I've been happy with them, good value for the price and plenty of storage space for my needs.

I bought this product and partitioned it in a Laptop (ThinkPad T41). It worked fine. And then I attached it to my desktop (Compaq Evo W6000). It worked fine for a while (5 minutes something), then the drives became inaccessible. Unplug and plug again. Got the same issue.It was returned because I really can not count on a product works this way because I have no idea if it will keep the data safely.

I received this hard drive promptly and was very easy to set up. You can decline the Google software in the beginning. I use it to store my pictures and music to make room on my desktop. Of course, my pics are put on cd's as well for backup.

Had it for over a year now and it's performed flawlessly. Nice and quiet. I plugged and I played. I'm a big fan of Western Digital now. I've also owned their super fast Raptor HD for over 3 years and it's still going strong.

The WD premium 500gb harddisk is compact, has a good amount of storage space and is fast and reliable. It has a nominal 7,200 RPM speed and 16mb buffer. Noise/ heat emanating from the unit is low. There is a handy AUTO sleep/ wakeup feature.The difference between this and the Essential edition is the FireWire 400 and capacity guage in the Premium edition.However, as many others have mentioned before, the inner blue ring meant to be the Capacity Gauge gets a lot of background light from the outer ring, and hence its function is still in doubt for me.But, considering performance, reliability and storage-this is a great drive to archive files-for students, professionals and home users alike.This unit isn't small enough for travel use though. So, I use a 120gb WD Passport for that. The real difference is the USB powerup in the passport (but slower R/W speed) vs the Power cord in the MyBook (with higher transfer speeds.)

I use this drive to compliment Time Machine on my iMac. It is always on and always completely out of mind because it is the quietest external drive I have ever had. Top it off, it looks great too.

I purchased this drive after reading good reviews on it, and used it to store most of my media files which my harddrive could no longer hold. Worst Idea Ever. After simply being knocked over onto its side on my desk, the product has stopped being recognized by my computer and it appears I have lost all my media files. Definitely not worth it, and I would recommend not storing your files on it. It is not a safe hard drive.

The first thing that happened when I plugged the USB only version of My Book into my computer was a hard crash. Meaning that I had to shut down the computer and reboot. Every time I tried to boot the computer with the drive plugged in, the computer would crash. When I booted, then turned on the drive, sometimes it would come up and sometimes it wouldn't. Once up, I had to format it to get the larger file sizes (You'd think with a drive this big, it would be understood that the user has large files). Not a problem, but why?Transfering files was painfully slow. It took about 24 hours to transfer about 70GB. When I realized that I was going from one external drive to another, I made sure to go from an internal drive from that point on. However, it still took overnight to transfer about 30 GB. My USB port, might be 1.1, however, accounting for the slow speed, but the crashes were ridiculous and I was happy just to get the data back onto my internal drive.I already owned 2 Maxtor One Touch drives, so I returned the My Book and paid the extra money for another Maxtor and as with the other two, I plugged it in and it worked immediately and flawlessly. Voila. I should have just done the (firewire) Maxtor in the first place, but I was trying to save a little money.

I had 3 computers all with hard drives barely having a few hundred MB left since I need to keep a huge amount of data for research purposes. I used to go through the cumbersome task of backing up the data on DVDs, but recently even this solution wouldn't be as helpful.I got the WD My Book 500GB and I'm totally relieved now. Its black casing is stylish and it works very quietly. The installation of My Book is as easy as plugging in its USB connector (I've a machine running on Windows XP Professional with USB 2.0 jacks). The button on the front is very helpful for turning the device on and off if you want to switch computers.I've also downloaded a backup/restore program called "Second copy" which is powerful yet simple to use. I got it to work in a matter of minutes and scheduled automatic backup updates every day (which takes a few seconds). It can't get easier than this!The only issue is that it comes with a FAT32 file system, which most probably you want to change to NTFS (in case you don't need to operate it in a DOS based environment). The formatting takes a substantially long time. I would rather to have had the option of file system while buying this device. Nevertheless, it's a one time procedure and thereafter you can enjoy your huge, fast and reliable storage.
