    Plug and play hard drive with Windows 7. Hard drive has some extra apple software that I need to be delete. I have stored about 150GB of data so far and no problems. The transfer rate is very fast, sorry I don't have any numbers for you. I am very pleased with my purchase.

    It is good in terms of space. However it seems to be slow and at times loud. I would not purchase this again.

    I recommend snatching these hard drives up any time they go on sale. Best Buy seems to regularly offer them at 25-50% off and makes them a steal. Reliable, fast (relative to other HDD), and large storage options. They run super quiet and cool and can be used as storage for any use.

    Lots of storage for the price. You can never have too much storage today. Built in security would be a bonus.

    Not much I can say, it's a HD and it works. Note that this is the Best Buy exclusive model, which has a shorter warranty (but should also have a lower cost). A lot of people open these up and basically get an internal hard drive, technically voiding the warranty anyway.

    if you need a solid digital storage option - WD is a top choice. 8 GB should handle all of it.

    I've used this hard drive for just almost a month now and it been pretty much what I would expect. It's plug and play. It's been attached to my router which acts as a media server. Write speeds are pretty decent over my network (20-25 Mbps).

    As simple as it gets for external harddrives. Hopefully it lasts longer than other drives I've used before.
