 Only lasted a few weeks! Jul 22, 2010
My 1TB my book essential only worked for a few weeks since purchase. When I contacted customer support, they did say that it would be replaced free of charge, but here's the problem...I just placed data on that drive that is now unretreivable. Those at WD said that I needed to use one of their data recovery services to get the data off. I called the 1st 3 on the list and their recovery prices were through the roof. I called a local data recovery place that was 1/4 the estimated cost of the other places. In calling back WD they said that if I did not use one of their "preferred" data recovery companies that I would void the warranty and they would not replace the unit. What a scam! The unit's already broken and should be eligible for replacement. It's bad enough they are not covering the cost to retrieve my data, but now they're trying to force me to use a company I do not want to use. Do I ever regret this purchase...
Broken files everywhere Jul 17, 2010
Bought this unit about a year ago and have had nothing but bad experiences with it. After a month of use files started getting corrupted left and right. Now it's practically useless. Highly NOT reccommended.
 Great quality Jun 29, 2010
Bought 2 of these, had for year now, working fantastically, never a problem at all. Wouldn't mind having firewire but have to say I haven't missed it at all.
Excellent for Archiving or Backup Apr 19, 2010
This is my second of this model WD 1TB external HD. I have had the first one about six months and this one for about 3 weeks. I have found them to be reliable and quiet. I knew from reviews that I read before buying my first one that it is not terribly fast, but it is a lot of storage at a very low price. I use mine for storing video files that are typically 3 - 8GB in size, plus backup for critical files. It takes 3 -5 minutes to transfer a 4GB file to or from the HD. It is easy to install and I had it up and running in no time. I am using mine with Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
Works great, no problems. Apr 14, 2010
I ordered this to use as a back up for a school computer (Mac) and have had no problems with it at all. It worked right out of the box and no software was required. I got a great deal on it and couldn't be happier. It's quiet and seems fast when items are backed up to it. It never lags when opening files. I would recommend this drive.
