    i found this easy to operate. the set up was ver smooth. quick to use for back up and transfer of files. Picture files very compact and no fear of loosing. the design is very sleek, modern and compact. the syling does not clutter up the breifcase, computer bag or travel case, allowing me to take with me when i travel, to work, vaction, personal time. the high capacity will be a plus as i continue to use for personal or business use. i did not find the instruction intimidating, was not noisy and seems to be very reliable. I would purchase again.

    I use to work for Western Digital, and they have always (well most of the time) good drives. This one is good, but it is kind of slow, during a backup it will bring my machine almost to its knees. It is very quite, though. It is a small foot print and so it is out of the way on the desk.

            I like the convenience of this storage device. Very easy to use. On older MACs can be just plugged in without the software included. I would recommend this to a colleague.

              This is my hard drive for Time Machine. Seems fine, very handsome design, haven't really delved into its intricacies, but it seems to be doing its job.

                  • Q:

                    If purchased seperately, can I use a FireWire with the product for faster video transfer speeds?

                    • A:

                      This drive features a USB interface only but USB 3.0 is faster than the Firewire 800 standard that is currently available. The My Passport Studio and My Book studio models accept both the USB or Firewire interface. If you truly are interested in speed, then the Thunderbird interface beats both Firewire 800 and USB 3.0 and the My Book VelociRaptor Duo and My Book Thunderbird Duo models feature this interface.
