Great price and product!

From what I've seen, this is a cheap price for the amount of space that comes with this external drive. It is super easy to install and seems to have no issues thus far. I'm glad that I got it. :)

Not the best backup drive I have ever had!!

The software is the problem with this drive and it is also huge in comparison to my other ehd's. It seems to be doing the trick, though.

Drive is OK Software is junk

I have been fighting with the WD Smartware for several hours. It refuses to backup a number of files. For some I can see they may be locked. Others there is no reason I can determine and display is no help. If you want to retrieve a file you can only see one disk at a time and have to return to the Home tab to change drives. Not software I would trust with my backups.

This doesn't seem to last very long.

I've had this for 6months. This specific external drive gave me errors and also caused other problems. I do not feel I can trust it enough to even use it for a backup. HDDscan says it has errors. It also seems to lockup for no reason and stop responding. I believe this is due to the design of the parts inside. I am not happy that I spent money on this only for it to last about 6months.
