Rating: - Great back-up tool - works with Time machine.
I purchased this hard drive mostly for back-up purposes and chose this particular one for it's size and firewire connection. I did not use the included software since this drive is connected to a Mac using "Time Machine" software but I can say that "Time machine" is quite compatible with this drive. I have had no problems with this drive within the first week. Do yourself a favor and buy sheilded cables, don't depend on the cheap cables the drive comes with.
Rating: - Excellent drive, but take care with the setup
The WD My Book Home Edition (320gb) is an excellent drive and the hardware has given me no problems. It runs very quietly, it is well vented and so does not heat up, it turns on and off (smartly) either with its own power button or when the computer is powered on and off, and it offers firewire, eSATA, and USB connections.

Rating: - Lots of space, portable
Back when I thought a 20 meg hard drive was huge, I never imagined that I would fill my 120 gig hard drive on my laptop with video files (often more than 20 meg per file!) and face a space crisis. Well, I did, so I bought this 320 gig portable external hard drive. It transports well and it has relieved the space issue on my laptop. It does require electricity, so it's not like you can take it up on a mountaintop with your laptop, but you can get rid of stuff you don't use all the time and store ... Read More
Rating: - Nice Drive
Bought three of these drives, working well so far. Like the multiple connection options, make it easy to use on PC or Mac.
Rating: - Standard hard drive, slightly annoying OS X software
I've put the drive on a bookshelf next to my desk and it fits in nicely. It has a little LED on the front that goes off and stuff, but I don't see it doing anything meaningful.
The OS X software is OK. It's a little slow, and I could not find the serial number for the trial software in the box. -1 star for that.
