I haven't had the time to really use the product on a daily basis. But installation was really smooth I can move data from my Mac to my PC and vice-versa.

Purchased drive in August, died in October with several thousand digital images which will be costly to recover. A total waste of time and money. And get ready to hire an interpreter if you plan to contact WD "customer service"

My power supply blew, and after I researched this it seems this is not a unique occurence. Powers supply is built to be virtually impossible to service - only replace, and is a quite non-standard config so hard to get a replacement other than from WD (which is much more expensive than a generic power supply).
The drive is excellent, but this issue with power supply makes it less attractive.

Well I will have to say that this Hard drive is a bit Larger then i thought it was going to be, did pay much attention to the listing LOL. but it is perfect small enough, quit, fast, and it has a small light on it not just enough to be able to give off light but not keep me awake at nigh. this is important because im in Iraq and need my sleep hope you guys like the review and buy as well good price overall. I will tell you if it breaks it is better then getting a 320GB for 99.99 bucks here you know.

I'm very satisfied with this so far, had it some time now with no issues.
Plug and play without a hitch on Windows Vista, I have also booted my computer into various flavors of Linux and was able to access the drive no problem. I have it set up as a shared drive and all the computers on the home network can access it provided the host computer is running.
It does have a power brick to plug into the wall, not an issue for me since I don't plan on moving it much. It appears very sturdy, the rubber end caps give it a tough look. I use it in a dusty environment and it has not given me any trouble to date. Not a lot of places for dust to get in, a vent in front and back for air to pass through, the top and bottom being solid.
It does not appear to be made for standing on edge, it sits flat on the table. It did not come with a stand, but if you for some reason want it on edge propping it up will be required.
Only thing I don't like is the blue LED activity indicator is on the back where the USB and power cables connect, so it's out of sight. I'd rather that light be on the front so I can see it, but it's not a big issue for me. It is not loud but does crackle and whine when in use. When idle running it can not be heard at all.
Speed is good, I rarely send anything more than a GB or two, and it seems to be able to transfer it in a reasonable amount of time. I use it to back up photos and files from my computers to save local drive disk space.
Overall it does what I got it for and you hardly know it's there. I dump everything I can onto it and have only used 44GB so far, which is barely a drop in the bucket to what it can hold.
