I AM NOT A SPECIALIST AT COMPUTERS SO I DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE WAS. A GOOD FRIEND SHOWED ME HIS. I LEARNED I COULD BACK UP MY COMPUTER IN AUTOMATIC MODE.
I FOUND THIS MODEL ON AMAZON.COM AND SENT FOR IT. THE DAY IT ARRIVED I HOOKED IT TO MY COMPUTER. THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE EASY FOR EVEN A DIM ONE LIKE ME. IT WORKS. I AM HAPPY SO THANK YOU WESTERN DIGITAL AND AMAZON.
Rating: - Great with Macs
Wow. I got this think for $90 at Office Max. I couldn't decide between this model or another more portable alternative, My Passport. I chose this, because I needed a place to store all my hundreds of movies, songs, and files. Because I have a mac, I don't need to bother with the included (mediocre) software, I just use Time Machine (which comes with the mac.) This drive works like a charm, and it is very silent. I have freed so much space up on my computer, that I now have room for my school files. ... Read More

Rating: - Good value for the money
The WD 500gb "My Book" is a perfect solution for desktop backup. I use mine attached to a NSLU2 as one of a pair. It's said that if you don't have a backup, you really don't have anything - and I agree. Every night, every machine on my network backs up important files to the NSLU2 and one of these drives. I then have the drives copy to each other - essentially resulting in three copies of everything. So I'm a bit OCD.
They are quiet, seem to be reliable (what drive isn't reliable till it fails?) ... Read More
Rating: - Easy to set up.
I bought this to back up my files in case my hard drive dies. It was up and running withing 10 minutes of getting the box open. I hope it outlasts my hard drive.
