 Stay away! July 21, 2008
Mr. D. M. Nelson (uk)
I used the drive to rip my dvd collection to, as I did not have the space for them. So I used this drive which worked perfectly for the last 3 months, woke up today the drive was dead, will not take any power. I have lost 900 Gb's of video. I am gutted! Stay away from these drives!
 Great piece of kit!! July 21, 2008

Western Digital My Book 2 Essential 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
I recently purchased one of these drives as the hard drive in my PC was getting very full.
I was very pleased when I first opened the box up as it was much smaller than I had imagined, and the styling of it with the glossy black outer case and the 2 blue LED's on the front.
After swapping the adaptors round on the mains plug and connecting the USB cable my computer detected it straight away and after a quick format from FAT32 to NTFS it was goo d to go.
The only draw back was the length of the USB cable, it is about 1.2mtrs long, but a quick search of Amazon and I have found a 3.6mtr cable for about 9.
Other than that an excellent product.,
Was fantastic until it died after 2 months. R.I.P. 9,000 photos... July 15, 2008

Bought this as I was switching from PC to Mac. Transferred EVERYTHING over to it, sold PC, bought MacBook Pro, plugged drive in; DEAD. Light comes on, drive's not recognised, then light goes off after about 10 minutes.
I've lost over 9,000 photographs, my iTunes library (inc. some purchases) and untold other stuff. Really upset as I thought WD was a brand I could rely on for this task. I must say though, that they have been very good about arranging a replacement.
So, if you have important data backed up, my advice would be, no matter which backup drive you have, also make backups to DVD, tape or another external drive.
Does what it says on the can June 25, 2008

Does what it says on the can. Purchased this beautiful black box 6 months ago. I have an iMac. I plugged it in, the icon appeared, I clicked on the icon and started loading. Thats it!
 Disappointed June 16, 2008

I needed to back up a large amount of data (large photo files, video etc) & chose Western digital as I have been pleased with previous hardware from this source. However, I can't get this drive to work on the 800 firewire port. It occasionally connects but is unreliable. I have tried two new firewire cards with no success. I now have it connected on the (lower speed) USB 2.0 port. This configuration need no attention and the system "sees" it as soon as I boot it. The backup software is functional and the manual shows how to replace either hard drive. The unit can be configured as a single 1Tb drive or a mirrored 500 Gb drive. As the speed was the main attraction when I bought this unit, I am quite disappointed.
