5 out of 5 stars Very Happy Thus Far   November 19, 2008
I hooked this drive up to my computer last night in a matter of minutes. To date, it's worked beautifully. I'm very pleased with this product.


5 out of 5 stars Good so far   November 16, 2008
Doing good so far. Drive is very small so it doesn't take up much space.


4 out of 5 stars Good price   November 16, 2008
This does the job. The most attractive feature of the hard drive is the price.

It is surprisingly loud however, and does need an external power supply.

Overall, glad I got it. Right now I am using it to hold my iTunes library, and will soon buy a smaller / quieter / usb-powered one and phase this one into archiving my backups.



3 out of 5 stars good for backup but not for normal use   November 16, 2008

The HD itself is nice but the case causes the drive to sleep and often does not wake back up. This causes endless hangups any time my system needs to access a file on there. I've already downloaded firmware updates and they helped a little, but not enough.


5 out of 5 stars My Book Essential 1TB Drive   November 12, 2008
The item was shipped extremely fast and arrived well packed and in excellent condition. The drives works great. The entire experiance was great!
