I had the My Passport before, but even though I liked the small compact size, I learned my lesson the hard way. The Passport is intended for portable use and not to be used constantly for several years. it is designed to be used intermitently and not continuously. I ran the poor thing to dealth. It worked faithfully as long at it could and did an excellent job. I just over committed it, and it finally gave out. Now I am trying to be smarter and I learned that the My Book unit is actually designed to be on the desk top running all the time. so far so good. Easy setup, instant recognition by my iMac, successful TIme Machine syncing, quiet operation, very large capacity (1T) and it is just a tad taller than my desktop printer (Canon) that it sits next to.

Started with a 3 TB WD drive, but turns out my dvd player and router will only handle up to 2 tb drive. Before finding this out, called WD support, they tried like heck to make it work..very (attempt) helpful, short wait times..really can not say enough good things about support. When we figured out it was not the drive but my other hardware issues, they just said return it. I did, got a 2tb drive, plugger it into usb on router, and bam, there it was. Have had a WD drive before and it lasted 5 or 6 years no prob, then my Great Dane got a hold of it. Turns out it is a sturdy drive only up to a point. Might have survived a smaller dog, but not 155lbs of Great Dane.
