 No backup software included... July 31, 2010

This external hard drive is very easy to hook up. For an inexperienced user, it may not be the type to buy unless...you have some type of backup software all ready installed on your computer. I was a little unsure how the unit backed up information so I called customer support. They were pleasant and walked me through the process of how to transfer files to the external hard drive but he said you had to transfer everything manually (ie..drag and drop files) unless you had some type of backup software. At first I thought I'd have to manually transfer all my important files but them I figured out how to backup my system with the security software I have installed. (Norton 360) So...if you purchase this be prepared to manually transfer files or purchase some type of backup software if you want to backup your whole system. I have not had any problems with the unit and it operates very quietly.
 affordable large space disk July 31, 2010

I've been using the product for a month or so. It works fine. It is very quiet, you'll never know whether its running or not. The only disappointment is the 2 TB is actually 1.81 TB
Effortless transfer of media July 31, 2010

After running disk utility and formatting the WD for OSX it took little over 2.5 hours to move 230 GB of iTunes media, along with the iTunes program so I could free up my hard drive. Opens fast, no issues.
Excellent service from Amazon July 31, 2010
E. Meiners (Mesa, AZ USA)
The first drive was a complete dud, and what it was able to do before it died completely... was slow. The good news is Amazon's replacement policy is EXCELLENT. Amazon sent a replacement drive by next day and so far it is working great! Two tips for increased speed of the drive for copy/backup use... 1) when you get the drive, perform a "quick" reformat in Windows to give it an 8k allocation unit, 2) disable Windows search indexing on this drive. I have tested it with these changes under both Windows Vista 64 and Windows 7 64... and it works quite well with either the standard Windows copy function or with Teracopy (a 3rd party copy replacement).
