Rating: - nice backup drive
I use this drive and a seagate 100 gig drive (I also reviewed that one) to back up our office p.c. It works great and I'm very happy with it. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because there is NO ventilation in this drive (unlike the seagate) so I'm a little worried about it over-heating at some point (which is usually what fries these little externals). It may well be that there is no heating problem though in which case I give this a 5 star rating. It's very compact (about the size of an ipod I think). I haven't used it with a notebook p.c. yet, so I don't know if the average notebook will provide enough juice to power it. There is no a/c adapter option, so you are forced to use the usb port to power this. This isn't a problem with desktops. If you are using a notebook, I would probably get the Seagate, which has the option of getting an a/c adapter. It is slightly bigger and bulkier than the WD though (it's a little bigger than a deck of cards). I alternate between these two drives just in case one of them burns out. I bought another one of these WDs to back up my home pc...
