5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential for the travelling computer user.,

This review is from: Western Digital My Book 250GB Essential USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
When i decided to buy a laptop i sacrified space for specs, and whilst this was cheaper to begin with i soon found that my 40GB of space would not suffice.
I bought a Western Digital 80GB HD not long after and this served me well for a year or so, until i had filled it up with files. Looking to expand my memory capacity by a substantial amount i stumbled upon this HD, made by the same company that provided me with such an excellent little portable drive beforehand. For your money you get a nice little drive. It's not as big as it seems to be in photographs, in fact it's smaller when stood upright than my 80GB HD. The drive is designed to look like a book which is cute, and it has a nifty ring that surrounds the power button on the front that tells you when it's in use. The drive can be used upright or on it's side and includes adhesive feet which can be added if you favour the second choice. The drive comes with a British and American AC adapter, and can be switched between the two with little hassle. In addition to this i find that some of the reviews on this site are unfair on it's apparent noise issues. Mine runs very quietly and only makes a small amount of noise when i am transferring alot of files either from it or onto it. Overall i would recommend this for anyone who wants an affordable solution to a small hard drive.

Great value, easy to use product,

This review is from: Western Digital My Book 250GB Essential USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I'm a Mac user, which means I'm rather wary of buying non-Apple products that may only work properly with PCs. I've had this a month now and it worked straight out of the box. It's relatively quiet, responsive, and once I erased it and reformatted it to Mac OS X (journaled), it was super-quick when doing backups with Carbon Copy Cloner. Best of all it's super-cheap! I'll be hanging onto my receipt in case it's too good to last of course, but so far I'm delighted with this product.

Does the job,
By Tom W "Tom W" (Oxford UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Western Digital My Book 250GB Essential USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
Usual immaculate service from Amazon. The drive does exactly what it's supposed to do with no problems re intallation or use.
Currently up to nearly 120GB and will buy another when needed.
