 Disappointed in this WD hard drive... December 26, 2008
I had owned a WD 80gb external hard drive for a year before buying this WD 500gb external hard drive. I was VERY happy with the 80gb, but just as equally disappointed in the 500gb drive. This drive locks up my computer and will not let my computer boot up on a regular basis. I have to manually unplug the hard drive EVERY TIME I restart my computer. The only reason that I am giving it 2 stars, is because it does store data.
I called WD about the problem and wrote to them but they were no help and offered no solution. As such, I am getting ready to purchase another external hard drive in the near future, but will not be purchasing another WD product because of their lack of support. I would strongly urge everyone to look at the reviews here and decide for yourself! Good luck...
 Worst service December 24, 2008
Technical support for this devices is bad. After a year they will stop working, and you will have to pay just for a tech support phone call. Review warranty from WD before you buy.

Western Digital's `My Book' line is a mixture of quality (performance) and quantity (available space). These external hard drives work smooth, but may occasionally click (come on it's only natural with that much information). Now with the terabyte model available why pick this one (500gb model)? Ask yourself, what do I need a terabyte for? If you think you can fill it go for it, but be warned it's a tad bit tougher to obtain the same performance this 500GB model offers. Can't fill a terabyte? No problem, you just saved yourself about forty bucks!
Western Digital is a brand I personally find to be steadily reliable over long periods of time. With the 500gb and 320gb `My book' models I've found nothing but top performance. It kicks into your machine fast, and is pretty simple to get going. Plug in the adapter to the nearest outlet, connect the USB cable, and profit!
I tote this around daily to multiple computers and have had no negative responses. It looks great, but scratches easily too (mine looks like a cats scratch post). I've even dropped it a few times, still it holds through thick and thin (oh mine also looks like a dented car too). It's also user friendly. People, who know little about computers and nothing of storage devices, will find it to be simple enough.
Really you can't go wrong with this, if you want a smaller unit try looking into the `Passport' models. Great buy, and can be found nearly anywhere (well anyplace that sells eletroni-...never mind you know).
