"Drive failed critical functionality, plus poor support"
From the start, this drive was difficult to work with. Although setting up the RAID1 config was easy, It was often unrecognized by windows even after installing and re-installing the drivers. The main reason I bought it was for the data security in

Do NOT Buy!
Purchased 2 WD my book pro ediition 2's about a year ago for size and warranty. I am a professional photographer and need lots of storage for images and had used smaller Western Digital hard drives in the past and worked fine. Within the first few months of using one of the 1TB WD my book pro...

Why are you crying about a fan?
The reviews for this are based on a product that works and this product does just that. Open up the side of your computer and turn it on, WHOO guess what? You hear a fan that is rather loud. This is an EXTERNAL drive, meant to be tucked away in an area - but an area it can vent the heat out of....

WDC warranty is a scam
I own two Western Digital My Book drives, one 500GB drive, and this 1TB drive.I'm mostly happy with the product itself. The fan is loud, but I have a laptop that's even louder, so that's not really a problem for me.My products have a total number of 3 hard drives in them; one 500GB HD on the...

Very Good Product But WARNING!
Product is great. The reviews here are very accurate. Does tend to overheat easily, is noisy, and the software is not great, but they make a VERY reliable drive (probably one of the best) so it's worth it. The plus side is the price and the outstanding disk array hardware in the enclosure....

TOO LOUD FOR A HOME OFFICE
I decided to ignore the negative reviews warning about the noise levels of this and when I found it on a great sale I picked one up. "How loud can it be?" I thought. Well, PRETTY LOUD - and unfortunately the sale was final.If truth be told, the Pro edition of these WESTERN DIGITAL external...

1 TB Drive is Great
I was really worried about losing my photo images as I make a living off of them. I had pretty much filled my 250gb drive when I found the 1 TB. This drive allows for either 1 TB of storage or 2 - 500gb of mirrored storage meaning, there are 2 - 500gb drives inside the box and what you save to...

A little noisy, but works well
This is the second WD external drive I purchased (the first was a 400 GB My Book). I use it to back up my computer data.Good points:- large capacity- worked out of the box, no problems after 6 months of use (so far, so good!)- accepts 100-240V input, so I could use it (in India) without an...

Works as intended
There are a lot of mixed reviews on this, but my expierince has been great. The device has been ultra quiet except for 2 periods of 5-30 seconds. The first was the very first time I plugged it in. It made a high noise and got me worried but 5 seconds later it went quiet and stayed that way...
