Summary: great product
Comment: this is a great product. only thing i found i didn't like is that it is only usb compatible. usb is not really fast for data transfer. is better to go with firewire if your pc has the ports. also, even better than firewire is esata. although most pc's do not have esata yet, you can purchase esata ports from various hardware sites if you are even slightly tech savvy. really easy to install. esata transfers data at 3gb/s vs 480 mb/s that usb puts out.

Summary: Works and is energy friendly
Comment: The device goes into standby-mode after about 15 minutes of not being used which is quite nice for a backup device that mostly just sits idle. The wake-up time is very quick since there seems to be no noticable delay.
I am currently using this device as a backup for my Windows Home Server and it works fantastic. Would recommend this device very highly.

Summary: DO NOT Buy this drive!
Comment: I wish to GOD I would have read more reviews and product guides before buying - I am a mobile DJ that just took over a karaoke business. I figured -WHY NOT- get a TB drive to have everything I dj off of plus karaoke on one drive.
HUGE MISTAKE!
First off for DJ's - this is slow and more so when using the VirtualDJ program. Between songs a 15-30second lag time. That can be forgiven though as the drive itself is massive.
Here is my own dilemma. I went to pick the drive up and the entire casing fell apart and the hard drive itself fell out! I had a friend who took it and put it in his own computer as a secondary drive to retrieve files. He rendered the whole thing useless and broken. Perhaps I got a defective one but that doesnt help me now.
I have DJ'ed with this drive a mere 3 times and used it maybe 10 times for transfers so its brand new! It is going back to the store for me to find something better which I will be reading reviews for the rest of the night.
As for now - Thank GOD I had all the DJ music backed up on my wife's laptop and a 160gig seagate. I have lost the karaoke job at the bar for now all because of a very faulty product!
Buy and use only at your own risk!

Summary: Okay, but slow and no power button
Comment: 7200rpm might cut it for a sub-500gb HDD, but it is pretty laggy on this 1tb My Book. Not terrible or a deal-breaker though. Otherwise, this is a pretty decent hard drive which I bought since none of my Western Digital (or Maxtor) hard drives have ever failed me. Looks nice, is rather quiet, and is well vented. Annoying, though, is the lack of a power button on the unit, so it's going to stay on all the time, spinning away, unless you unplug it.

Summary: HugesStorage in a small quiet package
Comment: Since I'm sure you understand the basics of an external hard drive so let me make this brief. This drive worked perfectly right out of the box. It is quiet, it is fast, the software provided is garbage trial-ware but you don't really care because you're going to delete it all when you reformat the drive to NTFS anyhow. 1TB for this price is fantastic. I've had the drive a month and it's great.
Best of luck to you.

Small, simple, elegant, and very easy to use. Just plug it in, and you've got plenty of room to back up and save your valuable data, music, photos, and movies.
