The only problems I have with this hard drive is that it's shiny exterior can be easily smudged up with your fingers. It also has no power button on it and you can't eject it from your computer. This means that it will stay on unless you physically shut down your computer and then unplug it.

Pros:

Cons:
- Cost
- You gain nothing over a USB 3.0 version of this at 4 times the price because it has thunderbolt

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!

The WD My Book Essential external hard drive is perfect for back-ups. I use the Windows 7 built-in backup software, and it works just fine with this drive.
