Hi, this hard drive is very good, its great performance makes it an excellent tool for an intermediate user, I just use with XP I dont know about OS Macintosh.
Rating: - Many Laptops won't provide enough USB power
I needed to move my data from a Dell Inspiron 8500 (a large laptop) but when I plugged the drive in I got 'USB Power Overload' messages and the drive wouldn't power up. Tried it in a few other models of Dell laptops in the office and got a 50% success rate.. only some laptops had enough power to drive this thing.
I ended up spending another $20 on an AC powered USB hub to get it working. The extra gear makes this drive much less portable. Otherwise it works fine, and no problems when used with a desktop machine.
Rating: - Good to go external DVD
Western Digital has always made excellent hard drives. This external is sleek and sexy in appearance and performs well. I have an 80, 120, and now the 160 GB. It conducts adequate speed when transferring files. It's not better than an internal, but it outshines other external. A plus it that you require no other power source.
Rating: - Is a Very Good External Drive if you have a lot of data
Is a Western Digital...... but if you have a moderate data I recomend the 120G Western digital, I have the two and I used the 120G every day
