4 out of 5 stars Good drive for what I use it for...   October 11, 2008
Kenneth Stenek (Shishmaref, AK United States)
I needed to get photos off of my laptop since I take many photographs of birds so I purchased this drive for the price and size.

Compared to one of my colleagues this drive is much faster not only for my computer to acknowledge it but also transferring full size 8 MP files to it at about 2 images per second. I am sure there are drives that can do it faster but I was plenty happy.

The main negative thing I can say was that out of the box there was only 465 GB available. I realize there is software on it but 35 Gigs worth? I deleted some pdf files that weren't necessary but that did little for me. In all reality I probably will not fill up the drive anytime soon so what am I really worried about. The 3,000 photos I transferred only took about 10 GB.


5 out of 5 stars THIS TOOL IS DOING THE JOB   October 5, 2008
WILLIAM STURGIS (IDAHO CITY, ID USA)
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.
