Functions as it must. Quickly, but in all probability simply because I'm utilised to inkjets. About one hundred pages so far and no problems. Included computer software worked with win 7 with out a hitch. Uses a lot of energy when it wakes up to print some thing. It's in my bedroom and the power light is pretty vibrant in a dark space. I have to turn the printer off at night. Hardly worth complaining about although. Haven't had to replace the toner yet.

Not official test but nonetheless impressed. If you appear at the online stats this is one particular of the more rapidly USB three. drives you can get proper now (as of 12ቷቦ). The internal pci card was uncomplicated to install and didn't bring about any issues (except I can't boot from sleep without having unplugging the drive but whatever). My friends are jealous and they must be. I've been going by way of files at like 70 to 110 mb's a sec Retain in mind it's not going to be make like a tank, it's fundamentally a thin plastic cover on an internal HD with USB outputs (as are most externals), but whatever it's quickly and portable (the usb three. cable will function with usb 2. laptop or computer just fine but not quickly). The drive will go to sleep if you don't use it but it will wake up quite quickly...just be prepared for that

Low-cost, quickly storage.. I can't seem to get this drive to perform with my PS3.. formatted to FAT32 and such.. computer recognizes it just fine, but I can't get the PS3 to see it no matter what I attempt. Has anyone gotten 1 of these drives to perform with a PS3? If so, how?

USB 3. is Wonderful! Quite couple of drives have it, and incredibly handful of mainstream computer systems have it either, but it's amazingly rapid. Utilizing it for periodic backup of my laptop. Feels just as rapid as my internal sata drive. Price tag per gigabyte is higher than other drives. Blinking light can be slightly annoying in a dark room, but isn't brilliant at all - I'm just picky. Way to go WD releasing these in the early stages of USB three. As far as I know, most competitors don't have something equivalent at this point, without having spending added funds on a cable or one thing...

Great storage space 1TB you can put almost almost everything on it. I have all my movies, music, photos on it.heck I've got 5 peoples data, documents, music, pictures backed up and I'm only using 100GB even with the 60 GB of stuff preloaded on it. The stand Sucks its fell on the several instances without having any person touching it. Rely great storage just leave it were it wont fall far

Really rapid, worked as expected on windows 7 machine. Died right after a month of hard work. We are now only making use of RAID drives, to maintain HD failures to a minimum. Would purchase it once more, just not rely on it for something critical with out hourly backup.

Affordable. Uncomplicated installation. Takes small desk space.I have had two 1TB drives for over a year and 1 500GB drive for more than two years. No problems with any of them. 500GB is used as backup for the HDD in my PC. 1 of the larger drives is employed for data storage, the other drive is its mirror. A small slow on initial connection, then as quick as I want for information access, which includes images, and backup. If a USB drive meets your needs, these are difficult to beat at the price. They haven't let me down.

Comment:
It works for two months Die on my immediately after 2 months I see other reviews about HD dying soon after a month or so too, so buyer be warned.

Reliable, predictable, quick.I have been using a My Book three. 2TB as my target drive for Windows Backup/Restore. I can move it to the PC I will need back up. I can use my residence network to backup some devices by way of Win 7.USB 3 makes this a performance drive as effectively. All PCs have USB and almost certainly wired/wireless network, additional than e-sata. I required one thing universally usable with my old stuff and anything new. USB 3. cards are inexpensive and will be bundled into modern devices from now on. It looks like a toy. It could use a chassis or way to zip tie it down. Do not put it exactly where it will be handled, pulled, or knocked about. I have taped over the piercing activity light. Performance wise, it is a wonderful drive. It is fourǛ since of it's physical instability, the power and data connectors are not properly protected.I've been performing IT work for too lengthy. Back up your stuff. Can you recreate your tax returns from memory? Put your stuff on CD or DVD too, pictures are some of the worst issues to lose to burst pipes. Something that is vital can be lost, back it up, put it on CD or DVD or Bluray and leave in a safedeposit box.Working with wireless backup environment renders the source efficiently unusable during the backup and it takes a lengthy time. A few minutes versus a few hours difference for complete backup. Project or incremental backup is tolerable.
