Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WDG1SU5000 My Book Premium ES Edition 500 GB USB/eSATA External Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
Dealing with as much media as I do, I really needed the extra disk space on the go. This hard drive is an superb choice for high volume mobility. Note: the computer MUST be off to disconnect eSATA.Digital camera Review: Works Great, then Dies leaving you scrambling, shame on WD!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this for a little over a year, notice only a one year warranty comes with it. PLEASE do not store anything you really don't want to lose on it. I had about 250 gigs stored from my photography company, luckily I run more than one machine. It died, oh, it comes on and the USB port shows something there, but the device is clicking like a tap dancer on speed. Try to use one of WD's data recovery preferred partners with price starting at $595.00. I will be moving up to a more reliable brand after I try to get all my stuff off of this dead one. THANKS WD!!!Digital camera Review: NOT FOR TIVO
Summary: 2 Stars
Decent hard drive,a little slow with USB. Originally purchased for TIVO HD expansion, the model number looks the same but it is not supported by Tivo. Do not try to link with your DVR, but it does make a good Time Machine back-up for my Mac. Digital camera Review: A hard lesson

This WD 500 hard drive died after 2 months of flawless use. With no warning, Windows could not find it, then could find it but said it needed to be formatted. Critical files stored on the drive were lost. WD says the drive can be reformatted and reused, but I don't trust it. Digital camera Review: Western Digital External HD
Summary: 3 Stars
WD external HD arrived and was in good condition worked well, but came without an E-Sata cable. I don't know why WD would ship the device without this necessary cable to hook up to a TIVO. For pete's sake, charge a few $ more, but include all the cables.
