I bought this and another My Book with the idea that I would be able to use the automatic backup software that was included. The Memeo software that's "included" with this My Book is TRIAL SOFTWARE however and you have to pay another $30 to use it. I'm not sure why they advertise it if it's not available up front.

Overall though, the hard drive seems to be working and storing data. I've only had it for a couple weeks now so I don't know fully about the longevity yet. The first My Book I bought has been running strong for 2 years now though.

I purchased this item a 1 year and 2 months ago. Right after the 1 year warranty expired....so did the Hard drive. Customer service would have cost me $41.00 to talk to a representative so I had to go to their website. I downloaded and tried all their programs...only to return with error messages. I will not be buying another Western Digital product again.

I hooked this drive up to my computer last night in a matter of minutes. To date, it's worked beautifully. I'm very pleased with this product.

Doing good so far. Drive is very small so it doesn't take up much space.

This does the job. The most attractive feature of the hard drive is the price.

It is surprisingly loud however, and does need an external power supply.

Overall, glad I got it. Right now I am using it to hold my iTunes library, and will soon buy a smaller / quieter / usb-powered one and phase this one into archiving my backups.
