Customer Reviews:
 Large capacity, poor performance, 2008-08-15
This external drive was purchased for the large capacity it provides. The hard drive is enclosed in an attractive two piece plastic case. One piece mimics the cover of a book and is attractive glossy black. The other piece looks like the pages of a book and provides ventilation for the drive. A bright blue LED is located on the front of the drive. It is divided into two sections that blink in unison or alternately depending on function being performed. Overall, it is a very attractive unit.
Unfortunately, the case of the unit I received was not fitted together correctly causing one corner on the bottom of the unit to stick out slightly. This caused the unit to wobble. In additon to this problem, the performance of the drive was lackluster. After formatting the WD unit as one large NTFS drive (which took over 4 hours), I compared the WD unit with another external hard drive unit I own. The other drive consists of a Nexxtech USB external case housing a WD 200gb ATA/100 drive. The comparison consisted of performing a 7gb file copy from the local PC hard drive to each external hard drive. The copy consistently took approximately 6.5 minutes for the WD but only 4.5 minutes to the Nexxtech.
At this point, I have returned the unit due to the case defect. I have not decided yet if I will order a replacement due to the poor performance or look for another model on Amazon.
As always, Amazon customer service was excellent!
