    Strengths: perfect

    Weaknesses:non - found

    Overall Evaluation: I bought mine over a year ago. One day it fell into the clothes wash bin. It went through the whole wash cycle. I did not know until the wash was completed, when I saw it. I fell to my knees, my eyes filled with water, my whole work and personal life went in flash. I taught I had lost everything and I DO MEAN EVERYTHING. I plug it in to my laptop and would you believe it, it worked as normal. I am buying another one in a month timeI RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: Elegant design and operation. Easy to use.

    Weaknesses:Short USB cord, but this seems par for the course as far as external hds go. Could possibly be for lossless data transfer. The power cord is more than long enough.

    Overall Evaluation: I have had no problems with my WD external hard drive. It operates silently with sexy blue led internal lighting. It is solidly built and seems like it wil serve me well for years.

    Strengths: It's definitely usable, and easier to use than the old style HDD's that you had to power up by a huge plug, the USB part I love.I'd give it an 8 or of 10...

    Weaknesses:No real weaknesses...

    Overall Evaluation: The one thing I don't like, and it's not the HDD's fault, but the packaging, nowhere on there does it say what speed it is.I bought this as a last minute option at a brick and mortar, I didn't know...
