Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - same problem as others had
Like everyone else who complained about this product, I had it for about a year now and suddenly I could not access any data on it.

Symptom looked like: The drive made a clicking sound, Windows XP could see the drive when USB is plugged in, but could not access the data.

The chassis mechanicals were put together in an awkward manner, so it was not easy for me to take it apart. I finally took out the hard drive from inside, put it into my computer main chassis which has ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A good drive for basic backup needs
I use Apple's Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and find this drive to work just fine for that application. Upon first connection, Time Machine will reformat the drive to suit its needs. Otherwise, installation was seamless, simple, and the drive is working just fine since then. If you don't need Firewire support, then don't pay for it. This drive has a single USB 2.0 connection, and that's all I needed. So far, so good.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - set it and forget it
Phew! Now I don't worry about backups any more. Got this unit, installed it instantly, set my backup program instantly, and it has worked flawlessly, quietly, dependably. Love it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Endless sorage
It's small and light. Very, almost stupidly easy to use, it's like plug and play. You can put it between your books and it gets confused with one of them. Excellent product and good price.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Wd 5-- review
Good news: it works and is fast.
bad news: It has NO on/off switch. How do you reconnect it to your system after you disconnect the USB port? Unplug it and plug it in again?
