Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 5 Stars
I initially bought a SimpleTech SimpleShare 500Gb drive. Copying the files on the network took forever and on the second day there was some serious knocking which lead to a total crash of the drive. I decided to switch back to a USB HDD . . . the research lead me to this WD MyBook hard drive. It is a very quiet device, great speed, great looking too. I love it.Customer Review: Would have been great if....

....my computer would have recognized it. Spent hours trying to get it to work. Reading someone elses review, I now see that I'm not the only one. Something about certain adapter cards not being compatable. Very annoying, wish they said that on the box. Returned it to Bestbuy. Got a LACIE hard drive-much cheaper and worked right away.Customer Review: Good for some things not others

It was pretty cool. Plugged it in it worked straight no issues till I tried to store a file that was 7 gigs it would not support that. So I moved my iTunes library to it instead. Im not unhappy kust mildly dissapointed because it wont do what I wanted it for. But if you only intended to store file smaller than 6 gig this is for you.Customer Review: Not worth buying

I bought this external HD in December 2006. Now in November 2007, the unit clicks and clicks and clicks LOUDLY! My computer recognizes that the hardware is attached but does not show the drive in my computer so I can't even use the stupid thing!
I didn't buy at Amazon. I wish I didn't buy it at all.
Customer Review: A hard lesson

This WD 500 hard drive died after 2 months of flawless use. With no warning, Windows could not find it, then could find it but said it needed to be formatted. Critical files stored on the drive were lost. WD says the drive can be reformatted and reused, but I don't trust it.
