Poor backup option in image mode
If you purchased this drive and software (as I did) to restore after system crashes you may be in for a rude surprise - the included Safetydrill software does not (as claimed) delete older versions of backups as required to make space for newer ones, instead it MOVES them to [...]

Tight little package
I openned up the box and immediately dodged all the manuals like I always do. I’ve owned a Seagate FreeAgent 120 and Iomega iGo so I figure this would be cake. Plugged it into my XP system and it detected it right away, the blue lights came on but the fun paused there. [...]

Great board, good price, easy install
I have this board in my home desktop and love it. Unfortunately I have gone thru one of them under warranty and decided to have a spare on-hand in case it happened again,so I bought one thru Amazon. The one in the computer died again, and having this purchased one [...]

Amazing performance…
I bought this for my late 2008 MacBook 13″ since it was about half the price of the Apple upgrade and it has performed beyond expectation. I thought It would be a similar performer compared to the included standard 160GB drive considering the pausing reported by others. Instead it completely transformed the performance of [...]

Works well; meets expectations
I bought this hard drive for use with my laptop that I recent got for the start of college. I needed an external drive to supplement my laptop’s 80GB drive, and I went with this Iogear hard drive mostly because of its low price. The added bonus is that it looks pretty [...]

Beatiful but crappy
IMPORTANT UPDATE: DRIVER HAS FAILED, READ THE END OF THE REVIEW BEFORE BUYING!!!!!!!!!! (Amazon doesn’t allow me to change from five to zero stars)
I purchased this external HD mainly for backups of my HP laptop and my wife’s Mackbook. The main reason for choosing this model was that it is one of the [...]

big and quiet
This 250Gb drive replaced the original 80Gb drive in my G4 PB. The drive affords plenty of extra storage space and by thus adds some extra life to the machine. The reviewer who mentioned that the drive is noisy must have gotten a defective unit: my drive is as quiet as it could [...]

What in the hell is wrong with Western Digital
If you are just looking to add an additional drive for storage, don’t buy this new version of My Book Essential. Especially if you plan to buy more than one (which you of course should unless it’s purely a backup drive). You will regret it unless you [...]

WARNING - not what the description says!
The description for this product says “Full kit includes drive cables, installation and management software, and illustrated instructions”. All I got was an OEM drive… just the drive with no cable, rails, software, instructions or anything else. I don’t know if an underpaid stockboy just screwed up [...]
