    3.0 out of 5 stars Great Capacity. Fantastic Price. Slow speeds!, 12 Jun 2009
    By Mo money (London, England) - See all my reviews
    Blinded by the cheap price. I impulse purchased this product.

    I felt a lot like the dude in the Burger King advert. The one where he dives through the shop window, leaps into his car & tells the misses "Go GO GO" LOL. because a price this good feels like your stealing. However..
    I have several External Hdd's including a WD 320GB passport & a 500GB WD My Book so trust me the WD elements 1TB is the slowest of the lot.

    Would I still purchase this product knowing about the slow data transfer..yes.
    The data transfer rate maybe slower than the average bear but I haven't noticed any speed loss acessing the data on the drive.
    I have Hi-Def Movies on mine that i acess using the PS3 without a single problem.

    Pros

    It's Solidly built.
    Works out the box (FAT32) tested with Vista, XP, PS3 & OSX 10
    It's cheap!
    & It's quiet

    Cons

    Slow data transfer speeds
    Power supply
    Ugly power supply

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great, 2 April 2009
    By D. Hughes - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I have six of these, and I've ordered two more. I use them with a Popcorn Hour A-110 media player.

    They're not the quickest USB drives in the whole World, but they're reliable, reasonably priced, they look nice, they're quiet, they run cool, and they're stackable - if, like me, you have a spiralling media habit, when you need to add another drive you can pile it on top of the others.

    A testament to how good these things are - they're really, really hard to find. PC World, Currys and places like that get stock every two or three months, then they sell out in a couple of weeks. Even Amazon, with their enormous bargaining power, have to wait two months for stock... think about it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Neat and quiet, 15 May 2009
    By Mr. Christian Hoskins (London, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I use this as my main hard drive and use two 1TB Maxtor hard drives as backup. To be honest, there's not much to choose between the drives. Both makes power themselves on and off when required and have lightweight switched mode power supplies. The Western Digital drive is slightly smaller, is metal rather than plastic, and has the LED activity indicator at the rear. The Maxtor has a slightly longer USB cable, and has the activity LED is on the front. If I wanted another drive, I'd probably go for a Western Digital, but there isn't much in it.

    Good price for a 1TB external hard drive. My only gripe is that it not the speediest drive around. This alone kept me from giving it 5 stars. It certainly does the job of storage
