"Completely satisfied"
I bought this on the basis of knowing WD is a reliable brand, and I'm happy to say the results have been solid. I've owned this drive for around 10 months, and usually move large chunks of data around (between PC and drive) without any issues whatsoever.
Pros:
- Fast data-transfer (USB 2.0)
- reliable
- nifty look
Cons:
- FAT32 (if chosen
- noisy)
- USB 1.0 (potentially slow

Pros:

- Fast
- High Capacity
- Quiet
Cons:
- Increases boot time

Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB
Definitely not good for streaming movie files. I always have to hard reset my media center in order to unfreeze it from idle. If you run it constant then it works but once it sits idle for 3hrs, it's frozen until you either unplug it or hard reset the computer.

External Hard Drive
This is a great product. Back up your entire computer. Lots of room for music and karaoke files. The BEST I would reccommend it to everyone so they don't lose important photos etc.

Fast and Easy!
This external hard drive works perfectly and is incredibly easy to use! It is by far the best one I've ever run into. If you have Windows or Linux it will be easy as pie to set up, but if you have a Mac, like me, it is not a good product for beginners!

Great Product for backup
I needed a larger backup hard drive. The My Book Essential meets my needs perfectly. I had already been using my own backup software so did not need the software that came with the My Book.

WD My Book Essential 1TB USB 3.0 External HD Review.
Seems very easy to set up - It automatically loads drivers and software in about 20 seconds per machine - I installed on 3 laptops and 2 desktops no problems. Thereafter works well so far for large back ups and is particularly fast if you've got a computer with a 3.0 USB port.

Excellent product
I bought this product during Christmas and found it is very useful. Besides it is tiny slim design, its performance exceeded my expection as well. Highly recommended.
