4 out of 5 stars Works Just Fine.......2007-12-09

Works as advertised. I haven't been able to get an eSATA cable to try that out yet tho. The only quirk I've had with it is that it will turn itself on automatically when I boot up my computer and with Windows Vista, it hangs before getting to the Windows loading screen. It did not do this on my XP machine. Not sure why it does that, but it's not that big of a deal, and I hope when I switch to eSATA, it will fix that as well.

1 out of 5 stars Not worth buying.......2007-11-27

I bought this external HD in December 2006. Now in November 2007, the unit clicks and clicks and clicks LOUDLY! My computer recognizes that the hardware is attached but does not show the drive in my computer so I can't even use the stupid thing!

I didn't buy at Amazon. I wish I didn't buy it at all.

4 out of 5 stars DO NOT let it tip over..........2007-11-20

runs like a charm, dies like a soap bubble. ADVICE: tuck those wires neatly out of the way. FRUSTRATION: search for diagnostic utilities.

5 out of 5 stars eSATA on Vista 32-bit.......2007-11-16

Worked beautifully. NOTE: you can't install the card, and then connect the drive.

I bought the seperate SIIG card, and SIIG cable. (This drive only comes with a USB 2.0 cable).

You have to have everything installed and connected, then fire up your computer, and it needs to be connected to the internet. Vista downloads and installs the drivers automatically. It works awesome! If you don't have internet access on your box, you can get the driver files from the SIIG website.

SOOOO FAST! Puts FW800 and other interfaces to shame.

(speed only as fast as the slowest drive in your configuration, of course. Example: if you are copying a file from an internal 1.5Gb/s SATA drive to this drive, it is only as fast as the 1.5...)

enjoy

5 out of 5 stars Great product. Just wish it had a FireWire port. .......2007-11-08

This product is a great hdd. It works well and looks great. Once the computer recognizes the external hdd, it transfers data at speeds that will blow you away. My only complaint is that I wish it had a FireWire port.

1 out of 5 stars Unreliable.......2007-12-04

The Western Digital External Hardrives are unreliable and crash all the time. Mine crashed after only a couple months and I am already on my 3rd one. I would not trust my data to Western Digital. If your data is important, I would recommend another brand Hard Drive that is more concerned about function than appearance. WD also has a very poor customer service reputation.

5 out of 5 stars Mass storage goodness..........2007-11-29

The WD MyBook works great! I definitely recommend it. If you do get
it do not delete the autorun directory where the icon is located.

5 out of 5 stars Good so far.......2007-09-02

This external hard drive was very easy to install and start working with. However, I have only had it about a month, so that is not an adequate amount of time for me to truly know the product. The hard drive arrived promptly and well-packaged.

5 out of 5 stars Western Digital 500 GB My Book Premium ES - Impressive.......2007-08-14

I use this to back up my SATA Western Digital internal hard drive and it works great. I formatted it for NTFS and tweaked it in the device manager in Vista and it runs great. I plan to use eSATA once I get a motherboard that supports it, but with USB I'm still impressed with the speed. This thing is easy to use and worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Like a breeze ..........2007-07-19

Using Norton Save & RestoreNorton Save & Restore [Old Version], I was able to image my 320GB C: drive to this eSATA II (and verify the image) in under 2 hours. The resulting image, at normal compression, was 59.5GB. This eSATA is just like having an internal SATA II. NOTE: the package does NOT include an eSATA cable or connection bracket!!!

    3 out of 5 stars buyer beware...............2007-07-01

    the case in the picture IS NOT the case they give to you. however they do send you a fairly sturdy and signifigantly well fitting case. the only problems with the case is that there really isnt access to the hold switch from the top since the lanyard goes through the top of the case also the screen is NOT PROTECTED. that is where they flat out lied about the product (hence the 3 star rating). i was glad to see that there was a belt loop (not clip) but its still to small to fit an actual belt through it. the case was good just not the advertising but i guess that what i get for buying from a 3rd party carrier that only claims to have certain products...

    5 out of 5 stars good for the money.......2007-01-11

    it was what i expected for the money i paid. the 2 gen nano fits in nicely. there is a cord that attaches from the bottom of the case so using ure nano is easy.
