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.

Quality Product
This is the second purchase of this line of External Drive's in the past year. Effortless set-up and well thought out system.

This is the fourth one I've purchased
The Western Digital (WD) Company stands behind their products. I always buy WD products when I can due to their customer support. I took this drive out of the box plugged it in and it has been working great ever since that day. It was the same with the other three I bought from WD.

Good value
I bought this drive to serve as a backup for my Linux CentOS 5.4 system (which I am a new user of). I tried just about everything to get it to mount properly to the Linux system but it turns out to be an issue with the drive size (3TB). So I will use this to backup my Windows XP computer and will use the 1TB seagate ExtHDD from that computer to backup the Linux. Otherwise the drive is working great. I find the backup software to be very limited in functionality, curently it is automatically backing up very many files that I don't care about only because I cannot specify certain files to backup. Also backups happen continuously whenever you save a file, so the drive is more or less running constantly. Also could not set it to automatically back-up a network drive, only files saved on the main hard disk.
