Reviews: I turned to this drive based on a) my previous good experience with the MyBook models, and b) the hopeful fact that this drive was an improvement in reliability, speed, and power consumption since it was a next-generation of the models I currently have...WD SmartWare is not even good for newbies unless they have current, multicore computers able to handle the hour-by-hour spike in CPU usage from this service...I am so disappointed that I would, if it were feasible, return every western digital hard drive I own and replace them with another brand (too bad you can't buy these from REI where I could do just that...
Retrevo's Recommendation: Buy with caution if you really want it
