Just looking at this item again and not sure why others have had problems. I've been using my drive for 7 months now for backups with no issues. Transfer rates are not an issue either. I just backed up 410MB of data in 55seconds which is on par with writing a DVD in 7-8 minutes.

I bought one and moved all my personal stuff to it. About a month later it failed. So I went to the WD website and the drive is covered under warrant, but the data is lost unless I go to a recovery company. Links to the recovery company on the WD website, but the cost will be many times what the drive cost originally, if I want to get my files back. Sounds like a racket to me. Now I don't know what to do.

I got the drive and backed up two systems. One month later, I wanted to do another backup but the drive had failed. The heads would not load and XP could not see the drive anywhere. I've sent it back to WD, but had to buy another drive for backups. Don't know what I'm going to do with this drive when it comes back. However, we do have a boat ....


Great drive but slow in the begining.

This drive is very quiet and cool, i have to say transferring my data to it was slooow , i had that problem with a lacie 1TB drive but on the WD once the data was on it it was quick to access it, i bought 2, not knowing the slowness of it, and use both for backups , no problems since.

this hard drive is very slow, at 1st i thought its my computer so I tried it on other computers and it took me about an hour to move 3gb of data, burning 2.5 hour movie onto a dvd is about 3 gb and that only takes like 10 minutes. this hard drive is just too slow. the price is pretty good for the amount of space, but its just verrrrr verrrry verryyy slow
