- Great product!
I bought this to clear some space on my 3 year-old iBook, as well as to backup important files from law school. It's a fantastic product and so far I'm very pleased with it! It's quiet, it has a ton of space, it's easy to use, it's easy to set up, and it's works very well. I'm happy with how reliable it seems and has been so far. No problems at all. It does take a little bit to load, but not very long. Overall, I'm very glad that I bought this Western Digital product. I was confused about which external ... Read More

- Western Digital MyBook
I never thought that my hard drive would crash, and that I would lose all my photos, bank records, and important documents. But guess what...it did and I lost everything! So, I learned a lesson the hard way...back up your data! My son and friends recommended the WD MyBook external drive (500GB) as the best back up drive for the money. Amazon's price was the best around and the free shipping sealed the deal for me. It arrived in perfect condition within a few days after I placed my order. I am not a ... Read More

- Sleep mode makes drive a boat anchor on your system.
Here's the problem. This drive goes into sleep mode after 20 minutes of inactivity on the drive.

So I am working on my computer, I load up my image editing software and the software - which used to load in seconds - checks all the drives connected to the system.

This wakes the WD MY BOOK up from its sleep. Which takes about as long as I take to wake up in the morning - or so it seems.

Then after an eternity (in CPU cycles) it wakes up and my software continues loading. ... Read More

- More trouble than it's worth
I bought one of these, and used it for several months, and liked it so well that I bought a second identical one.

These drives are supposed to spin down and go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity. The first drive did that just fine, UNTIL I got the second drive. Now both of them spin down and spin back up again immediately, with much noise and blinky light action. Off and on and off and on, forever. EXTREMELY annoying and distracting.

I spent approximately six hours total ... Read More

- Good external HD, but use ONLY for backup/data storage
I've been using Western Digital HD's for nearly 15 years now and never yet have had one of them fail on me (though there's always a first time!) I currently own two of these My Book 500GB external drives which I have hooked up to my newest system. These drives are attractively designed, quite sleek with good ventilation and very easy to set up; the only things you need to do are (1) plug in the power adapter and connect it to a suitable socket and (2) connect the USB cable to the computer; Windows XP and Vista ...
