Great product!Strengths: Quiet, automatic stand-by feature, stylish, runs cool Weakness: None This is a great external USB 2.0 hard drive. It runs cool and quiet, probably because it has a useful feature which automatically puts the drive in stand-by mode after about 10 minutes of inactivity. It has a great chipset (Cypress). It also turns off automatically when you shut down your computer, which is really great.

Western Digital My Book 160GB Essential Edition...Strengths: looks like a book, quiet and fast, easy to use Weakness: case is big and plastic This is my second external harddrive. It was about $60 after tax and rebate during a sale. I think it's a fair deal for that price and what I got from the purchase. All I did was plug the cable in and it was ready to go after a short moment of detection. After I'm done dragging my files over for a backup, I can place this on the bookshelf along with the other books. No one else in the house will...

Western Digital 160GB My BookStrengths: good build, looks slick, auto power. Weakness: none This is a second drive I purchased at a good deal so I had to post another review along with my review for the 250GB model. All is pretty much the same except for the capacity. ;) I was looking for a quality external USB drive and came across this drive. One of my requirements of the case was good ventilation and auto power system. This quality case meets both of my requirements. The drive has...

Product testStrengths: Easy to Install to computer Weakness: More weight and bigger size Hello, I would have loved if it had a smaller size and less weight. Because I travel most of the times for my business purpose so like to carry easily. because in this compititive technology industry a lot of other companies are offering small hard drives with more capacity. Right now it is ok to use this product but in the future I hope I will get what I am expecting. Thanks.

My Book Essential Edition External 160GB Hard Drive...Strengths: Compact size takes up less space on desktop, easy to use, USB connection. Weakness: Requires own power supply, not powered by USB port. This is an excellent drive for backing up your data, especially on laptops. Its simple use allows you to just plug into the USB port and away you go. It is a fast, quiet and compact drive that takes up little of your desktop. It is not USB powered so you'll have to find an outlet to plug into if you intend to tote it along with your laptop. Hard drive is large enough to back up most people's MP3...

Very nice, stylish, and compact - basic external...Strengths: Small form factor. Quiet, Automatically goes into standby mode after 10 mins of inactivity. USB cable included. Stylish design. Weakness: No external "back-up now" button. Included Google software PC only. I bought this drive to back-up my important documents on my Mac. Cosmetically, a very attractive drive. The circle led power light reminds me of the X-Box 360 aesthetics. Drive works well with my Mac. The auto-standby feature should extend the life of the drive, as I use it as a back-up and not as a primary hard drive. With all of the data we store on our computers: photos, banking,...

A well designed external hard driveStrengths: Well designed Weakness: 1394 at additional cost It's a very nice external hard drive. It has: - Beautiful casing - USB 2.0 for fast transfer - Automatic power on/off with your computer (VERY NICE!!!) - Backup software - Smart ring LED displays estimate capacity it still has My only complain is being an essential version, it does not have 1394. It's not a very cheap product and I really don't want any additional cost for 1394 capability.

Nice quiet external driveStrengths: very quiet, good data transfer rate Weakness: external power adapter, automatic "on" feature This drive is almost silent, quite a change from my other external drives with fans. It does get warm when transferring large files, but nothing to be alarmed about. Data transfer rates average about 1.3 gig per minute, as quick as any other usb drive I've used. I don't care for the auto "on" feature which turns the unit on whenever the computer is turned on. I would have preferred a built-in...

excellent external hard drive!
Strengths: very quiet, nice style, fast transfering
Weakness: none
I love this western digital external 160GB! The style is very nice exactly like a little black book. Setting it up is very easy. My system is window XP, so I just plug it to UBS and it works immediately. Transferring data is very quickly and it runs quietly. I backed up all of my files in this little one and I am very happy after 3 months use.
