Rating: - Bad store, bad add, bad everything
I'm completely unsatisfied with my purchase. To start, it was advertised that the HD would come WITH a case. But it seems from the store point of view, that it's an amazon problem with misspelling, not the store. The cable for the WD worked fine for 3 days, then it simply stop working. Until I figure it out it was just a cable, I had already freaked out about all the loss in my data. And after complaining twice (first about the lack of case in my order) and then about the return of the cable, the seller asked me to send it all back and that they'd give me my money back. Since I didnt trust anything they said before, I kept the HD and bought a new cable. But NEVER EVER AGAIN gonna buy anything from this seller again!

Rating: - Good Hard Drive...But dont Drop It
I bought this hard drive because it was on sale for 89.99 for the 160GB. I have external WD drives and they work great. I used this for about a month and it worked great. It was perfect for transporting my school work and my other work. One day I dropped it about 2-3' from from truck. I picked it up and it had a small scuff on it. I didnt think anything of it. I later plugged it into my computer and the computer did not recognize it. The HD powered on and started to spin. I then went into the disk utility to try and formatt it. The drive read 2TB!!!!!. I couldnt get it to work, It gave me an "input/output error". So to sum it all up, dont drop this drive!!! other than that it worked good.
Rating: - Great Drive
I got this hard drive when my NEW external Western Digital Studio edition 500GB hard drive started having problems. I needed something cheap, fast, and small. This drive is everything I had hoped it would have been. It is very very small and totally silent. My Dell laptop had no problems finding it or powering it up. One very small downside is that the included USB cable is very very short, but not a big deal. I didn't use the software included on the drive.
This drive is very simple to use and works great. I would recommend it to anyone needing a reliable, small, quick back-up device.
