Strengths: Elegant looking; 1TB (a lot of space!); Compact in size; USB 2.0 (fast!)
Weaknesses: None so far
Overall Evaluation: I bought this external hard drive this thanksgiving and love it very much. I had two 250GB MyBook external hard drives before and this one is way better look than the old version MyBooks. It has 1TB space and can take tons of data with it. Its size is quite compact, smaller than the 1st version of MyBook. Overall, I love this hard drive and would recommend it to other people.

Strengths: ITB, silent, easy to work, no software installation required
Weaknesses: No On/Off switch, no stand
Overall Evaluation: I am really impressed by it. 1TB is a lot of space and I was expecting it be a little bulky and noisy. But on the contrary, it is small, quiet and very easy to use. Although, it comes with some pre-loaded software, I didn?t need to install them or format the drive to access it and was able to use it right away. It would nice if it came with an ON/OFF switch and stand/bag, but no biggy.

Strengths: Elegantly designed; One single 1TB drive instead of two 500GB; Power Efficient
Weaknesses: Show a capacity of 930GB instead of 1TB
Overall Evaluation: This is a very elegantly designed USB 2.0 external hard drive from Western Digital. Although it is a little pricy, i got it at a discount during the Thanksgiving sales and i could tell you it is well worth the extra money. The drive enclosure is a glossy black finish with a soft blue LED lights in front. If you intend to keep this drive in the living room next to your PC, the soft blue LED will definitely NOT distract you when you watch movie. Look through the ventilation holes from behind the enclosure, you can see that it is a single 1TB drive instead of two 500GB, which is nice. A lot of cheaper 1TB alternatives out there are actually using two 500GB instead. To use the drive, it is as simple as plugging it in to the USB port of the computer and it is instantly recognized. The drive is preformatted as FAT32 of a capacity of 930GB (you will never see it as exactly 1TB). I just use Windows Explorer to format it to NTFS using Quick Format, and it takes only a few seconds. The drive is extremely quiet and i could not hear a thing when i place it next to my PC/TV. The drive has a small external power adapter, but it does not need a power switch because the drive will automatically turn on/off when your PC turns on/off/sleep. Very neat energy efficient design. Overall, Western Digital is a great HDD manufacturer and it has designed a very good product that exceed my expectation.
