Unique design & Great performanceStrengths: Sleek, space-efficient design; Great price for a large amount of storage; Quiet and simple Weakness: No backup software The WD My Book is an easy-to-use external hard drive. It has a great compact design that does not take up much room on your desk. When the drive is plugged in, it will automatically turn on/off with your computer which is or is not a hassle depending on your preference. Since I use my drive everyday, I don't mind this feature that much. However, it does seem to make my computer start up slower...

Great All-Purpose External Hard Drive at a...Strengths: Lots of storage for MP3s, videos, photos. High-speed USB 2.0 connectivity. Weakness: No Firewire connectivity. Can be kind of loud at times. Only a 1-year warranty. This remarkably affordable external hard drive provides tons of space for all your pictures, videos, and music files. High-speed USB 2.0 connectivity makes data transfers quick and painless. Part of the My Book series, this external hard drive is shaped like a small book and thus blends well in any home office environment. This drive only connects via USB 2.0--Firewire connectivity would have...

Does what it should so farStrengths: Lots of nice extra storage space, compact Weakness: Always powers on with the computer unless unplugged or turned off manually via front button after startup. Sometimes spooks me when I periodically hear it rev up and down even when not being used Finally got around to buying one of these for extra photo storage space, and far prefer it to the periodic burned DVD partial failure I was encountering unexpectedly. Does what it should so far, though it does make me nervous when it sometimes revs up or down even though idle (which is normal, according to everything I've read elsewhere). Price is good compared to the Premium version if one's...

A Great BuyStrengths: Attractive; Convenient shape; Easy to set up; Great prices available Weakness: Possible question about actual capacity All I wanted in an external hard drive was no hassle. Easy to set-up, easy to use, no problems. This drive delivers that in an attractive and space-saving package. I have mine standing like a book to save space, but it could be placed flat on the desk if that works better in your situation. Its quiet. I have 2 minor issues, however. First, my computer sees it as being 298 GB. I am used to drives...

A good looking large storageStrengths: Price and functionality Weakness: A little bulky. I do not think you can mount several of them together to have only one USB from the hard drive. You need a hub to bundle them together. This is a very good storage for your everyday needs. There is a ON/OFF button at the front of the hard drive--very convenient. The hard drive is a solid built. I think it has a fan inside to vent the heat out. You can plug the USB 2.0 into your computer and have it work in no time. Green and black are good combination of color choice. If you buy more than one of them, you can stack them together...

External Edition External 320 GB HDStrengths: Had No Issues. Transfered all files within 10 minutes. Just click and drag. Very Happy. Weakness: None Yet I couldn't believe how much room our Photos and music files were taking up. It was amazing how much better our machine ran when I moved them off the hard drive!

Great looks, great performanceStrengths: Fast read/writes Sleek look Quiet Weakness: Kinda big Not the cheapest When I got this drive, I was very excited to have a nice looking, portable USB hard drive. Most of the ones I have seen are quite ugly (beige plastic and the like), but this one has a nice case. I've done some tests of reading/writing large files and large groups of files, and this easily out performs my old external drive. The only drawback to this drive is it is a full 3.5" drive, so it is...

Amazing buy!Strengths: Lots of space, quiet, great look Weakness: None This has to be the best external harddrive I've ever had. When I got it for a steal, I was skeptical about the quality, but now that I've had it, I must say, its great. I have it in one of my desk shelves and it looks classy compared to my other externals. Hooks up to my computer in a breeze and I haven't had a single problem. File transfer speeds are fast and I will grab more of these from now...

Elegant Looking and a Silent DriveStrengths: Looks great, silent, easy to install, good performer Weakness: None This drive looks gorgeous with my black laptop, speaker set & my webcam. All of them are blend well together. It appear to be smaller than the pictures in the internet. Performs silently and smoothly when I transfer huge data of 4 GB from my laptop USB2.0 port. Easy to install, just pluck it in and you are ready to use. Is cooling too unlike my own existing external drive.

Can't go wrong with WD
Strengths: Good appearance, plug and play, runs very quiet, and though it doesn't have a fan, it never gets warm.
Weakness: It says it's 320GB but it's really only about 297GB, if i remember correctly.
This external is very durable, I dropped it marble floor once by accident and nothing happened. No cracks, no scratches, NOTHING. I've been using it for six months now and I've found nothing wrong with it. It also shuts down when your computer shuts down, which I find to be a very good feature, and it goes on standby when your computer is idle. Five stars.
