 Great External StorageMay 26, 2008
By Chris
I have no complaints about this drive thus far. It worked just like it was supposed to right out of the box. The Firewire 800 transfer speeds are excellent. I like the automatic sleep feature as well. *Leopard users make sure to upgrade the firmware to the newest version to get the most compatibility out of this drive.

Get the Firmware UpgradeFeb 16, 2009
By immersus

Be sure to go to Western Digital website and get the Firmware update and Drive Manager. After installing those this drive should be stable. Like other reviewers I was having hangs especially with iTunes. Also it seems that some widgets may have been creating conflicts. But that doesn't happen after the updates.
This product is beautiful! It matches the aluminum of the iMac and MacBooks. It's fast: with FW800 it achieves real transfer rates greater than 56 MB/s. (eSATA rates would be higher, probably 110 MB/s.) Also it's quiet, cool and comes formatted in HFS+ with all necessary cables.

Western Digital 750 Gb Studio editionMay 30, 2009
By Lou C
This product was easy to to install & setup. The only distraction was having to find & install the recommended upgrade which was extensive & time consuming. Since installation, the device has performed as advertised.

 Beware of the FireWireMay 01, 2009
By Jethro Tuller
Using USB, this seems to work fine and does what it claims. However the FireWire 800/400 connection to a PC is the pits. Windows would not boot with the FireWire connected. Connecting the device after Windows is up will work every other time, but Windows still will not boot with it connected.
