Pros:
- Easy to use
- Fast

- 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!

Whats not to like...? 3TB of USB 3.0 space. It comes with good build quality from a well known brand.

- Plug & Play
Cons:

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.

Fast, very quiet and flexible.
I have a Mac Mini running iTunes that accesses films stored on this NAS. This in turn is available to my Apple TV. The whole arrangement works very well indeed.<br /><br />I also use the NAS to store all my photos and other assorted data.
Pros:
- Fast
- Quiet
- Simple setup
Cons:
- None
