I purchased the Western Digital My Book 1 TB USB drive from Amazon. It set up easily right out of the box and I used it as both a back-up drive and a storage space for video files that I make in my classroom. from Amazon.com Bought this a while back and it's been nothing but great, I didn't like the software installed on it nor the file system as I was going to use it as a backup drive for my pc and wanted a speedy drive I formatted it to NTFS and manually created my folders and backup up my data. The drive's on 98% now and I may just but myself a 2TB next time. from Amazon.com I have a HP desktop with Windows Vista 64 bit, SP2. The My Book hard drive is connected via USB port. The backup software came preloaded on the hard drive, but was dated (two years old). from Amazon.com I like this hard drive a lot. It works very well with my Mac Powerbook G4, as it's fast, quiet, and reliable. from Amazon.com I did not purchase mine thru amazon, but i like to share some of my experience. I just bought WD Home 1T just for the sake of using E-sata. from Amazon.com I bought the USB 1TB version of WD's "My Book" for Mac at an Apple store. I wired it up to a relatively new iMac 24 which I use mainly for making DVD videos using a mix of stills, video clips and music. from Amazon.com Worked fine for 10 months as a backup drive before it croaked. Good news: I have a Mac, and was only using it for Timemachine backups, so the primary data was still available when this one went belly-up with write errors. from Amazon.com I have had this drive for about 8 months. I bought it because it was significantly cheaper than a 1 TB internal drive. from Amazon.com Pros: You can take the drives out and use them elsewhere. Price was ok especially for 1TB + the external casing. from Newegg.com I have four of these 1 TB Hard Drives. Two are connected directly to my iMac and/or MacBook Pro using FW, Two are connected to my Time Capsule using USB. from Amazon.com
