5Great product.  Jul 28, 2008 By L. G OHara "Joy"
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.

4Remote Part Confusing  Feb 29, 2008 By C. Cherry "ed"
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.

4WD 500GB Book External HDD  Jul 12, 2008 By Mr. William L. Harvey "William Harvey"
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.

i use this harddrive for my PS3 and PC. but you have to reformat it to FAT32 type for the PS3 to detect it.


4Excellent Auto Back Up  Dec 13, 2009 By Mr Mac "Caller"
I bought a unit like this for myself at a retail outlet about a year before buying this unit for a friend because we could not find one in any retail outlet. Out of all the units we checked none had the automatic backup capability that this unit has. All the other units required manual updating or have a separate program to use. This unit came fully loaded with everything needed to maintain an active back up hard drive. The software could use improvements. If you make major changes to one main folder of a drive you're backing up, the software doesn't recognize that you've only made a change to one folder and will redo the entire drive again. If you're doing rapid changes i.e. opening, modifying, saving a lot of pictures, you will have to suspend the drive's backup or it will make you PC crawl trying to keep up. Otherwise, for normal operations, it will keep your back up files completely up to date while you're working. I really like it.
