Don't like needing to buy more software since that is what makes it back up easy. Had some issues. with it for 10 days, not staying on. turns out the power supply is faulty you hold it just wright and it will power up, but not for long. very frustating. Now I might as well buy a new power supply. Rather than pay shipping and wait. The unit does seam well built I have the WD book 500g that is 3 years old, runnig just fine. That power supply is twice the size and weight. Rating: 2 / 5 I had the unit a few weeks. Backed up fairly easy. Don’t like needing to buy more software since that is what makes it back up easy.

Its a real shame. A friend and I bought 2 of of them to integrate our massive multimedia databases. We just could not copy our data (3.5TB) to the drives. They would just crash as the copy got going. I suspect it is a temperature problem. Support (even 2nd level) had no clue. The box has no fans, thats nice but didn't work. Took the disks out of the box, used them elsewhere with no problem. Another USB box with same 'Green' technology fried the HDD in about 15 minutes of data loading, again no fan.Western Digital My Book Studio 2 TB USB 2.0/FireWire 400/800/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive WDH1Q20000N Too bad.

The description did not reveal this little detail. Rating: 2 / 5 We had to return it because it was not compatible with Snow Leopard, Mac’s newest operating system.

These units are crap! We have lost much data! Do not use this if you are planning on keeping data "Safe". Fine for quick transfers on non-critical data. Use at your own risk! The units worked fine for about three months.
