Rating: - Excellent drive and service from Amazon
I looked at a lot of reviews for this (on Amazon and elsewhere) and plumped for this drive because of its excellent connectivity. I'm a Mac user and Apple seem to be moving away from Firewire towards USB so I wanted to ensure the best of both Worlds. My G5 Mac has Firewire 400 and 800 and I wanted to try the Firewire 800 speed. It is very fast. I copied 160GB in around 2 hours.

The drive itself is small, neat and very quiet; a few clicks here and there but nothing too noticeable, The ... Read More

Rating: - Solid Performance
I've had this disc for 12 months now and (touch wood) it's been very reliable. It's quiet and compact, was easy to install and does what it was bought for, i.e. provide the first line of backups.

I've occasionally had problems of it not appearing on the desktop when I start up my Power Mac but pressing the reset button and then rebooting or using Disk Utilities to manually mount it seems to do the trick. Manually ejecting the disc seems to be the main cause of this problem, it seems best ... Read More

Rating: - There must be 2 versions!
From reading the comments posted here by other reviewers, I can only assume that WD have two versions of this drive. Most of the negative comments are about noise and unreliability (usually the people with a negative experience seem to have suffered from both).

Fortunately, I'm on the lucky side of the fence. As I am sat here in a silent room with the WD MyBook Studio placed on the desk in front of me, I can tell you that it is neigh on silent. Noise is a subjective thing but I a) hate loud ... Read More

Rating: - seems improved over a year's time.
I got one same time last year, It broke down 3 times, and the last one is so bad, I have to order a replacement drive. So I agree with most review it's noisy and break down easily.

Interesting to note, the recent replacement drive is much more quieter, maybe the hardware has finally improved.

I just have to warn all user who is ordering a replacement drive, if you are using the advance replacement service with a credit card guarantee, it's best to send your broke down-drive early. ... Read More

Rating: - Don't touch with Barge Pole
I bought this based on Macworld review and the star rating and positive reviews I'd read on line on Amazon (although only the first few). Within 2 hours of use it just switched its off. Thought it might have been something I had done so mounted again & after that every time my Mac went into sleep mode it just switched itself off and disappeared from my desktop. And also when using Time Machine. Tried the online advice (frighteningly there was an awful lot of it with similar problems), which was to download the ... Read More
