Digital camera reviews of Western Digital My Book Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: 1 Year Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this 500GB hard drive at a local electronics store sometime in December 2007.
Pros: Does what it should. Plugs in the PC through USB, installs the driver software, and is ready to go. The blue external lights look great in the dark and also matches the glowing blue icons on my laptop and speakers. If left plugged in, it will power on and off with the computer. A good amount of space.
Cons: Not a huge deal, but the icon of the hard drive just dissappeared. Slightly annoying, but may just be a local problem. Remember that all hard drives will fail in the long run. I know it can be slow... but ALWAYS BACK UP IMPORTANT FILES ONTO A CD OR DVD!
