Customer Review: A Technoplegic point of View
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these from Amazon in April of 2009 for about $105.00 each. Now I wish I had purchased 10 of them. They have been that reliable for me and they are now $135.00.
I have had them running nonstop from the day I got them.
I have never reconfigured anything on them. Just plugged them into my PC and started using them.
I have never downloaded any of the programs that are prompted by the new external hard drive (ExHD).
I have full usage of my hard drive space.
My PCs recognize each different drive separately and there is never any confusion or issue moving them from one PC to the other and no issues using them both at the same time on either of my PCs.
I have never had any issues of them heating up or making noise. I was so paranoid from reading reviews about them getting hot and crapping out on people that I check them often. I touch them and can feel no perceptible heat. I listen to them and hear no noise at all. (It is very quiet in my home office; amazingly quiet in fact.)
Now I will tell you that I lay them on their side; my logic being that this leaves none of the ventilation slots blocked and I think they get very good cross ventilation but seriously when I touch them they feel actually cool to my touch.
The only issue I have with them, and really it is minor, is that I have to unplug them from my PC if I am going to reboot the PC. After I reboot the PC I plug them; in a moment it will begin doing a scan of the ExHD and I hit cancel. Then it opens another window and wants to load some other program and again I hit cancel, it does and then all systems are a go.
I have them on a separate battery backup from my PC batteries. Maybe a wee of overkill but it makes me feel better.
I feel the need to tell you that I am a "Technoplegic" (my term for someone that computer geeks look at and say "you're too stupid to own a computer") and basically these units have been plug and play and very, very easy to use, very reliable. Once I got it through my thick Welsh/Irish skull that I needed to unplug the ExHD from my PC when I reboot the PC... Well then they were a wee bit of heaven on earth to use.
Mind you now, it hasn't been a year yet, only nine months... so... maybe I will be saying "DowgGowneGobilityGookHorsefeathers" in another three months or so. I have no clue. But if I do I will post an update and tell you everything that I have to do and go through with Western Digital... Good or bad issues in dealing with them.
Again, I am a Technoplegic so please forgive my lack of geek terms and phrases; my lack of "use this and that program to override this and that other program" and all the other geeky, however smart sounding dribble the Tachnopros have memorized.
