5 out of 5 stars Quality Product   November 13, 2008
R. J. Salusbury (Winchester)
This is a relatively small, sleek external HDD. I've had a 250GB WD My Book for over 2 years and it still works perfectly so there was no doubt about buying WD again. This drive is smaller in size than the 250GB and has a glossy plastic finish and is extremely quiet. The only real difference is the addition of an extra light which flashes constantly when the drive is in use (i.e. playing an mp3 file) - it seems unnecessary. br / br / br /The drive comes with pre-installed trial backup software and some other unnecessary software. I'd advise anyone who doesn't want this software to perform the Quick Format function on the drive and this will remove this software. If you are using the drive for straight forward backing up of mp3, jpeg, etc. I'd recommend using the open source (free) "Cobian Backup" software (which is NOT pre-installed) instead of either the MS backup software you may have on your PC (it backups unnecessary MS components) or the pre-installed trial backup software. It's easy to use and runs quietly in the background. br / br /In summary, highly recommended. At a cost of approximately 12p per GB, it's a bargain. br / br /Edit: It would appear that Amazon is publishing reviews for the 500GB My Book on the 1TB My Book product page and vice-versa. This is a review for the 500GB My Book.
