This Book solved all my storage problems

"This product solved all my storage problems. I am the video camera man for my church and I record each service on a weekly basis and special events also. I had found my other external drives 360gb and 500gb full to capacity. I saw their 1tb (my other external drives) which was over [$]. Then when I saw the 1tb notebook at a price that was unbelievable I pounced on it. I was able to save videos which was marked f..." Read Full Review »

Beware - reformatting may be necessary

"Formatted in Fat32 which can't have file bigger than 4 GB. Get "Not enough space..." even though 950 GB left when trying to rip a DVD to an iso file (4.1 GB). When I found out why from user guide (not included with product; have to guess that it might be available on WD's website which it is) it's too late for an easy solution. I have to reformat to NTSB to allow more than 4 GB file. But that will erase the 36 G..." Read Full Review »

"Pros

Terrific value (byte/price) in HD storage, and requires practically no computer literacy to install. If you can plug in a lamp you can setup this drive.



Cons

None.

"I bought this storage unit because I was running out of room on my 75 GB hard drive, and I only had a 55 GB external. I knew in the future that I needed more space for my videos of my kids (because I am a pro-photographer) and my Fraps recording of myself gaming (2 minutes = 1 GB). This was the pe …"  Read Full Review »

"Bought this for backing up several other hard drives (2 PCs and 2 laptops). Had wanted a Hitachi, but those were sold out. Regardless, plenty of room. Hooked it up to a WinXP machine, didn't bother with any of the utilities on the HD, just started doing backups. But when I started doing the first ba …"  Read Full Review »

"Pros

I got it for a great price on sale - very cheap for 1 TB. Set up was very easy - plug it in, format to NTFS and you are all set. Quiet, doesn't take up much space, and you have the option of setting it up vertically or horizontally.



Cons

Not pre-formatted as NTFS. After formatting you end up …"  Read Full Review »
