Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 500 GB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDG1U5000Customer Review: What a crap-Mybook!! Waste of money for sure Summary: 1 StarsFirst of all, it takes forever, for any computer (doesnt matter on my pc or laptop -> not a computer issue) to show "mybook" under the MYCOMPUTER menu. Starts up very very slow.
After 1 year, it started to give me errors and nothing went on it or off the harddrive. Now, I am sitting on this darn thing, and try to reformat it, maybe it will fix it, but I am pretty sure, that as soon as my husband finds out, that I am wasting my whole night on this thing, he is just gonna grab this Mybook-thing and throws it out the window.
With those words, you can tell : I HATE IT and cant wait to buy me a new one, but surely it wont be WD Mybook again.
I just cry for all my data's that are on this thing.
