Great product.July 28, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a great product. I plug it into my Belkin usb hub and then into my laptop. It comes on every time I turn on my computer. The software is very handy and backs up every time I save something on my computer. A previous opinion misunderstood the software and thought it was only for 30 days. Not true, you have to register it with the the product number on a sticker with the instructions. I did call them once and they were helpful. It comes with 30 days of phone in help.
WD 500GB Book External HDDJuly 12, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Western Digital 500GB Book was received from Amazon on time and in excellent condition.
Works well with my AMD Athelon Computer System (actually, should have gotten the 1TB Book).
Only "downside" is that the packaged Software shipped with the Book does not seem to be completely compatible with my Vista 64-bit OS (as to the "Button Manager"), but my OS recognizes it and having an extra 500GB of storage is great.
Remote Part ConfusingFebruary 29, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Great drive, my second one. I bought it in an attempt to set up a remotely located backup on one machine for two others machines, no luck. I can't figure out the software, and the WD assistance in even more confusing.
Beware - they sting you $30 for the backup softwareDecember 11, 2007 10 out of 16 found this review helpful
On the my book web site they say that the Office edition comes with backup software.
They forget to mention this is a trial version.
Even after you buy it you can only use it on one computer, so much for the 'Office' aspect.
