The elegant case takes up very little space.</td></tr> </table> Installation is a breeze because you don't really "install" anything -- just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is not even an installation CD because all the included software loads automatically from the hard drive the first time you plug it in. For cream-of-the-crop, high-speed performance, use My Book Premium's FireWire 400 interface. However, if FireWire 400 isn't convenient, Western Digital has you covered -- the My Book Premium hard drive is also compatible with USB 2.0 connectivity. Best of all, you don't have to choose between one or the other because both interfaces are built into every drive.

Western Digital provides software (WD Backup) that makes backing up your data as easy as possible. With a few simple steps you can back up all your data files, or just save your picture and music files. You can also schedule routine backups so you don't have to worry about it ever again. Built for ease of use, this drive is equipped with a capacity gauge that shows how much space is left on your drive. The My Book Premium also includes intelligent drive management features. For example, the drive turns itself on and off with your computer, and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written.

But that's not all. Western Digital uses a smart design to make the My Book Premium look as good as it performs. The elegant case resembles a book and takes up very little space on your desk. Plus, it stacks horizontally and allows two or more drives to nestle neatly together like encyclopedias on a shelf. Inside the stylish exterior is an exceptionally fast, ultra-quiet, cool-running hard drive. Last but not least, the My Book Premium is equipped with free Google software that searches your drives, manages your photos, and simplifies Web searches.

My Book Premium Edition Hard Drives are ideal for:
<ul>

High-speed backup of important documents and images

Extra storage for your computer

Automatic backups of your existing hard drive

Archiving the music stored on your MP3 player

Adding plenty of space for digital video capture and editing

Saving and organizing your digital photo collection </ul> Note: For basic, less expensive storage option without automatic backup software, consider the My Book Essential Edition 320 GB Hard Drive.

Western Digital 320 My Book: Great so far!.......2007-06-01

Buying a new computer sort of get's you thinking about many issues. Our old machine had no backup provisions. We thought about internal RAID in the new machine but this seemed too expensive.
Enter the stand-alone hard drive.
Remarkable how inexpensive a 320 Gig unit is!
The 320 gig unit seems fine. It includes IEEE 1394 Firewire port.
The software self-installs and it's pretty easy to schedule repeated backups.
One caution: Windows Vista may not support it perfectly. This is completely anecdotal, your mileage may vary. The unit was absolutely fine on my new Vista computer and after a week or so just stopped being recognized at all in any way, shape or form. (Vista is very far from a reliable platform in my opinion) I tried powering down and reinstalling to no avail. I am getting rid of the new Vista based machine in favor of a more reliable XP-based machine and don't expect to have any issues. At work on my XP machine it runs perfectly.
Of course the real test of a device like this is how long it lasts and remains reliable. It's not as expensive as an Avastor and I don't know whether the price is an indicator of quality.

Awesome drive. Works as expected........2007-05-31

No hassles for me. This drive just works!
First we set it up with USB 2. Worked great. However, we needed to remember to change the computer BIOS to disable booting from USB, or it assumed the WD was a boot disk.
Then we transitioned to Firewire. It has worked perfectly between 2 computers. So far, it has stayed cool and quiet on fairly light use.
I was delightfully surprised at how small and how attractive it is. I run it flat on the table top. Glad to have the metal casing.
Couldn't be happier with it! Looking to get another one for another system.

works really well.......2007-04-15

do not use the usb connection though. the fire-wire connection is more reliable.

My Quiet File Saver.......2007-03-27

I received it initially as a gift, having lost info to LaCie and AcomData drives. Installation was very easy and it copied files pretty quickly.

And the best part, it is really quiet. Not quiet as in "I can bearly hear it." When I say quiet I mean quiet as in silent. The sound does not increase very much when it is working hard at saving things. And its compact design it is easy to keep on my desk among items.

I put 4 stars because I haven't had it long enough yet. Not pessimistic, just cautious.

Reliable Inexpensive Data Storage.......2007-03-09

I've heard some complaints about this line of external drives, so let me address those first. Yes, there is a slight "hum" or high frequency vibration. But I have several of these drives in different capacities and some hum a little, some not so much. Bottom line is that the noise is neither distracting nor bothersome. Besides, don't you get a little worried when any machine goes dead silent? Okay, now to the good stuff. Though designed as an "archival" device, I have streamed digital video from these drives full screen onto a Mac 23" widescreen monitor with no problems. I've used both USB versions and Firewire and both work fine. I've also run them for tens of hours at a stretch with no problems -- when not used they drop into "sleep mode". I suggest reformatting the drive if you use it on a Mac. This will make it compatible with the Mac's file system. It's easy and takes a couple of seconds. Also works with PCs just fine. The published capacity is misleading -- so what's new in the world, eh? If you buy a 320GB drive and are sweating a couple of gig, well... The obvious caveats: Don't bang or drop it -- especially when it's running. Always dismount it in the proper sequence.
