    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 Good value for money, 25 Jun 2009
    By J. Dawson (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I bought this to backup all the family's files. Transfering lots of data onto it was slow, but that's a one off event. It won't take long to sync a few changed files if I remember to do it regularly.

    It is solidly built and good value for 1TB of storage.

    Please note: if you want to store any files larger than 4GB then to need to reformat it to NTFS (it comes formated as FAT32). This is simple to do in windows - just right click the drive and select format to find the format window. It takes a long time to do but you only have to do it once.
