Rated 4 out of 5Â by sandifop Not for LaCie eSATA Hub
I've had this drive for 10 months and it has proven useful. The platter speed is slower than many systems but this allows fanless operation. If RAID0, the speed is fine for editing 720p from a file. I haven't used it for tape capture.
Opening the enclosure to swap drives is nearly impossible on my unit.
One warning for iMac users: This drive does not support an eSATA connection from the LaCie eSATA Hub. I bought mine planning to use 2 My Books for a 4 drive RAID0 array to a LaCie Hub but the drives will not mount.

A very smart device--on when your computer is, off when it is not. Fast, reliable, quiet.

The drive itself is fine, but the power cord failed the second time I plugged it in. Questionable.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by brandwashed decent enough
i like these drives, mostly because they are inexpensive and quiet.
not as nice as the lacie 2big, but works fine.
the WD drive setup software would not work on my iMac initially (for reasons unknown as i have set up these drives in the past without issue) so i used it on my MacBook Pro instead to set up the drive and then all was well.
i wish the connections for the cables in the back of the drive were more secure.
macconnection also had the best price at my time or purchase!
