Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Your baby's first step, your wedding in Bali, all your important milestones…All captured in digital photos and video. What could be more important? Store them safely and keep them backed up on My Book Home Edition external hard drives.

This drive is easy to set up and easy to use - installation is a snap because you don't really install this drive, you just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is no CD to install. The included software loads from the drive the first time you plug it in.

This drive features a flexible triple interface:
  • USB 2.0 - For convenience and compatibility among multiple computers
  • FireWire 400 – A high-performance interface that’s perfect for Macintosh® computers
  • eSATA 3 Gb/s -The ultra-fast eSATA interface gives you speed comparable to a state-of-the-art internal hard drive
The compact design means this drive fits right in - it takes no more space than a paperback book. Collect two or more and they nest neatly together like volumes on a shelf

The useful Capacity Gauge allows you to see at a glance how much space is available on your drive. (Works with the USB and FireWire connection only).

The drive itself is smart and energy efficient. It turns itself on and off with your computer and Safe Shutdown™ prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written. (Works with the USB and FireWire connection only).
It's also environmentally friendly - the drive is designed to save power by going into standby mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. When you’re ready to use it, it wakes up automatically.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it is designed to keep the drive inside cool - The My Book enclosure’s heat dissipating design with Morse Code prevents heat buildup… a notorious data killer. How cool is that?

    3.0 out of 5 stars First Impressions, 9 Jun 2008
    Very please with My Book as an external hard drive but not so please with supplied software. Paid significantly more for this product over the price of equivalent "Essential" EHD so as to get the automatic back-up software. Once downloaded this software did required back-up and as promised continued to keep tabs on what was happening so backing up as it went along. However system was so so slow. After matter of days had to remove and back-up by drag and drop. By slow I mean very very slow. So slow that it could not log on to internet. Once removed all back to normal broadband speeds. So my recommendation - If you want back-up buy the cheaper "Essential" product.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good HDD overall, 25 Feb 2008
    By No.Id (London, UK) - See all my reviews
    So far only using the external HDD as a backup drive, and so far so good, managed to copy under 200 GB in a few hours using USB 2.0, not tried the firewire nor the esata connections yet. It's also not too big nor too heavy (slightly bigger than a thick book that I'm reading at the moment) which is good.

    My only gripes so far are the fact that I'll have to buy my own esata cable, which over here isn't in great supply yet, and the trial software bundled in with the HDD. Fortunately I have no actual need for the software as I can use the existing windows interfaces to do what I need. I would have liked to pay more if I could have got an esata cable bundled in with the HDD (the reason for the 4 stars) but now I'll have to try and find a place that has a specific cable in stock.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hard drive to have, 14 Jan 2009
    By G. L. Macis "Luca Macis" (Essex, England, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I bought this hard drive as i ran out of space on my previous Lacie 500GB HD. It was a difficult choice to make as there are so many WD drives out there however i went for this one due to value and the option for Firewire 400 connectivity. I'm very pleased with my choice as the speed is superior to USB especially if you have other usb devices plugged in.

    It's silent in operation, especially in comparison to my Lacie. Very small and out of the way and the light at the front of the drive is not particularly bright which is great if you leave your computer on during the night.

    Only thing i found is that if you have a mac and want it formatted for mac its a little more tricky. I done a quick google search to solve the problem which delayed my installation of the drive by about 1-2 minutes only.

    Excellent drive and i highly recommend it.

    Side Note for Mac Users:
    To format for mac go to Utilites > Disk Utility. Select the WD drive then go to partition. On the drop down menu you want 1 partition and then select OSX Extended(Journaled) and then click apply.
