Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital My Book Studio 2 TB USB 2.0/FireWire 800/400, Desktop External Hard DriveCustomer Review: Workin' Well so far.... Summary: 5 Stars
I have a late '07 Alum, iMac which was running leopard. Apple, had replaced my Mouse once (scroll wheel). OK< scroll went AGAIN. but, so my HD (320GB) was starting to crap out. I noticed this on a Sunday, called Applecare, which I'm glad I have, (since the 'puter is 2.5 years old). After letting her cool down, she started right up again. So on AC's advice, I took the iMac to the Apple store. With Bad scroll wheel, bad 320 GB HD, and, I also mentioned the vertical streaks, in the lcd screen..... I thought I'd get laughed at.
Not so quick.
I went in, and talked it all over, I'm not as stupid as I sound, and knew what I needed to do, To Save My Data!! (LOTS of Legal stuff!)~~OK?
I bought this Western Digital 2 TB USB/FIREWIRE Studio Book. They put my iMac on the Genius Bar, connected it to the 800FW and the Studio Book. It took a few hours, to do a suddenly Brand New, Time Machine Backup.
BUT> DID IT? IT DID! Happy Me! Saved ALL my Data! Thank you Lord!
They handed my my new WD Book Studio (My Data), they don't wanna be responsible for it, and I don't blame 'em! Said, come back tomorry. They called me.
Here's what they did:
New HD, UP from a 320 GB, to a 500GB, loaded with Snow Leopard, AND/PLUS/INCLUDING/ALSO, all new iLife 09! I thought that's GREAT! And, it IS!
Then, since I did bitch a bit about the screen having the vertical stripes, they replaced THe LCD, and the GLASS! BEAUTIFUL!
I couldn't be happier, but, they also gave me another new Mighty Mouse!!
YEA!!!!!
Total Cost to AppleCare..... $989.00, like that...
Total cost to me? ZERO $.
I bought the WEstern Digital Book 2 TB, for about 289, like that, not the cheapest, but, I got to save ALL my data. They loaded it back onto my internal HD, which is now much bigger, and has Snow Leopard, rather than just leopard on it.
This was All done at Cherry Hill mall Store, in Cherry Hill, NJ!
I couldn't be happier with Apple's service, and their recommendation of the WD My Book 2 TB USB/4/800 Firewire external HD!
I'm still a Happy Apple Camper...
Since I raised my children, on an Apple IIgs.....
Yep~
Teach them on winders....?
I don't know what they'll turn to! (They'd need HS Counseling!)
Good Luck,
Buy Apple, and what they recommend!
Be Well!~
