Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HARD DRIVE, 500GB MYBOOK COMBO EXT
Customer Review: No problems yet
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the WD 500 GB drive 2 months ago to use primarily for photo and video storage to free up space from my PC. Was easily able to reformat the disk to handle NTFS file system. But, that wiped out the pre-installed software. So, had to download that from the WD website, which wasn't that big of a nuisance. Experienced no problems loading all of my photos, etc on the device. Have had no problems and really like the design. Would certainly buy again.Customer Review: great backup Hard Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
Great, reliable hard drive. Data transfers are quick. The bundled software works easily with Mac OS X Tiger software as well as with Leopard's Time Machine. The hard drive turns itself off when not in use, which is good since it has a bit of a hum to it when on, though not very noticeable. Turning it back on requires only a push of the front button which is large and easy to use. It is about the size of a fat paperback. Easy to set up. Very recommended.Customer Review: Nice
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll make this review quick and dirty.
It's extremely quiet, very fast, looks good, takes up very little space, easy to install and use, and holds a ton of stuff. I use it exclusively to hold my photos( up to a couple thousand so far). I shoot mainly in RAW so they're all large files. Of course the price is right, under a buck per gig.
This unit is the ticket. Look no further. Buy it.
Customer Review: Fine as a boot drive for a PPC Mac.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using one of these for about a year as my main boot drive for my Dual G4 MDD Mac. (I've been too lazy to clear off one of my internal volumes for that purpose!)
Warning: The Premium Edition may be the only My Book model that can be used to boot a PPC Mac. The Essential Edition, the Home Edition and the Studio Edition can't, even if they have the necessary FireWire connection.
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this drive as a backup on my Mac. Periodically I take it out of the closet and attach it to my Mac through the Firewire port. I copy everything from my Mac hard drive to the WD 500, then I turn it off and put it away.
BTW, I reformatted it for the Macintosh to improve speed and reliability.
No Problems. No Muss. No Fuss. Works exactly as expected.
