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 »

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.

"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).

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.
