 It's great, really it is! January 6, 2009
Al (Cheshire, UK)
Well, i've just read all of the 1 star reviews and i'm finding it hard to agree with a lot of them. I've had my drive for 6 months now and, until recently I had no problems. Plug and play it definitely is. I never bothered with the sync option. It's just drag and drop. I tend to flip between a desktop and a laptop and don't have a problem - dead easy.
About a month ago my desktop started losing contact with the drive every few minutes and I started to get a bit worried. Maybe the 1 star guys had a point. I went to the WD website and ran some diagnositics. You don't need to be techy to do this. Unfortuantely the drive passed their tests so I rang to arrange a warranty swap. The chap on the end of the phone had sorted me out within 2 minutes. He took some details make/model etc then asked me about the fault. It turns out, and this will help some of you out there, that if there's not enough power coming from the USB the drive effectively goes to sleep until you call it again. I had it plugged into a front USB port on my desktop tower but the WD guy told me to plug it in the back and the problem has gone away.
So, easy to use, good help on the web and good phone support. I'm happy, hope you will be to - worth buying.
 SUPER SLOW, NAFF PROGRAM, LOOKS GOOD! January 4, 2009
L. Esteller (IPSWICH, ENGLAND)
FOR PHYSICAL SIZE AND LOOKS, EXCELLENT AND VERY PORTABLE, FOR USABILITY A BIG FAT ZERO. SO SIMPLE TO USE THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS APART FROM PLUG IN AND FOLLOW SCREEN MENUS. UNFORTUNATLEY THEY COULDN'T MAKE A SIMPLE TASK MORE HAP-HAZARD. "SYNC'D" MY DOCUMENTS ONTO DRIVE, SOMETIMES THEY WERE THERE OTHER TIMES NOT. HARDLY RELIABLE INSPIRING IF THE IDEA IS TO ERASE OFF COMPUTER ONTO DRIVE TO FREE UP SPACE. "SYNC'D" C DRIVE- TOOK OVER 10 (TEN!!!!) HOURS FOR ABOUT 25 GIG, NOW,SOFTWARE JUST HANGS, RANDOMLY TERMINATES OR FILES APPEAR/DISSAPEAR AT WILL.
CONCLUSION- FORMAT DRIVE FROM NEW AND JUST USE AS AN ADDITIONAL "DRAG & DROP" HARD DRIVE. SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH ONE OF THESE AND THEY ALL DO THE SAME. IT WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF TIME AND GRIEF.....HONEST!
 Adequate connection cable not supplied. December 30, 2008

The cable supplied with this product is a single USB cable (the kind that everybody has at least three of). For some people that will be enough, because their computer will supply it with enough power through that.
Some (older, say c.2005?) computers will not do this. They require a special Y USB cable. I think this one is adequate, but there are others on Amazon: Ex-Pro USB Cable - Dual Power, 2 x Type A to mini B, USB 2.0, 1m. Provides additional USB power to high draw devices using MiniB (Eg External Hard Drives etc..)
A standard USB only lets out 500mA, this requires 1000mA. Some Computers don't limit the USB to 500, so for those the cable supplied is adequate.
As for the quality of the hard drive, I can't say, because I can't use mine until I get the cable. It looks fine. But that's not enough. Needs to be supplied with the right kit.

Small, sleek, elegant, and it WORKS. I'm using this to transfer massive iTunes and iPhoto libraries to my wife's new MacBook, and it works like a charm. 'Nuff said!
