    Works great, but the install instructions were non existent. Also there is no off/on button or power light, so you really do not no if it is on or off.

    Bought this drive to backup a Windows PC. Ran WD sector test and test failed. Called WD and they said there was probably a bad sector on disk. So I exchanged for another one at Best Buy. Next one passed test and works fine.

    The computers in my home are not networked so this hard drive with enormous storage allows me to store all my photos and mp3s on a single drive then access them on any computer I choose.

    It does automatically backup my files most days. However, lately it has been missing some days. On those days, I have to start the backup manually.

    Works perfectly. The new/different pattern on the case allows me to quickly distinguish this external hard drive from my other Western Digital external hard drives.

    It works most of the time. Then it says there is no room for backing up the computer's hard drive. However the WD My Book has more than 10 times the space it needs for a backup.
