Had to format to NTFS, but that's no big deal - takes less than a minute WD has a walkthrough for this in the support documentation if you don't know how to do it. Overall a fantastic purchase - I will be buying more. Kinda bummed that newegg dropped the price 2 days after I bought this one.
Overall Review: Over the last year, I've purchased 5 of these units just ordered the 5th one today. When I originally started my home theater PC project, I knew I'd need to find a brand of external hard drive that maintained a uniform enclosure size and port configuration.
I didn't want to buy ALL my drives up front, and at once. I wanted to buy them over the period of a year or two, but still have the same enclosure size and configuration due to a special media rack I built. I haven't had a single failure yet [knock on wood]. Overall Review: this drive keeps itself cool. First of all my deepest respects to NewEggs for delivering in 1 day I paid for 3 days the drive. You guys are spoiling us! The drive performs well and is so easy to install win2k and xp.
It is quite and fits well on the desk next to the monitor. Nice that it will start and stop when the computer does but you can stop it whenever you want. The green ring is a discreet reminder that the drive is on. I like the fact that I can stack them and will not need to go fishing behind it to find the switch.
It comes with its own USB cable. Cons: I wish it had 2 USB ports to chain link more drives without having to use a hub. Why not an internal transformer?
It is a bit slow at waking up, but I am glad that it cycles down to save energy and lifespan. Overall Review: Newegg has the lowest price in town As far as I can see and great service. Very responsive when you need to put something on it, it loads up fast. They give you useful softwares as well. I find myself using the imaging software Picasa 2 quite often actually. Overall Review: I leave it running all of the time and it has been a year now I think.
No signs of letting up and it runs fairly cool. Overall Review: I purchased 2 of the GB drives, to compliment my already large assortment of Mxxxor and Bxxxink devices. Both devices worked properly upon installation. Upon initial setup, I tested bandwidth and found both devices almost identical to each other a good thing , but could only achieve approx. Large backups consistently take almost twice as long on the WD than on any of my other USB drives 24 total , and 4 times longer than my fastest USB drives.
I've already contacted WD about purchasing a couple spare power adapters, as I believe the drives will outlive the adapters. Pros: The HDD has a small, sleak exterior that is not obtrusive. It runs quiet and cool.
The USB 2. And, as usual Newegg shipping was fantastic. I ordered it on a friday morning and with default shipping I received it that following monday. Since, this HDD is a g monster actually it's more like g it took about an hour or so.
Other than that, this I have no problems with this drive what so ever. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked. Out of Stock. Add To Wish List. Are you an E-Blast Insider? Get Educated. See more " my book ".
