Rating: 1 / 5
I just bought the 1TB Elite and it sucks! The software provided is a CPU hog. I have a quad core processor and it’s at 95% because of the software… ridiculous. Also, the software boots as a disk an can’t be removed (correction: WD realized how bad this was so they made a firmware update that hides the disk). If you choose not to use their horrible software, then the e-label doesn’t work. So stupid. I paid extra for features that I can’t use.

the product arrived in two days as it should be and this was good. however, when i opened the box, to my big disappointment, i can not plug in the power cord and mini USB because these two ports were not even in the right position. and i can see the bad allocation of electric board from these ports (i took the pics and uploaded to share). of course i returned it and got an iomegaIomega Prestige 1.5 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive 34474 instead.

After the woes I had with the Western Digital My Book Essential 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, I was weary to try another Western Digital product, but I really needed the extra storage space for my G4 Powerbook.
Fortunately, with this “My Book Elite” everything was smooth. Because I have a Mac, it wasn’t usable right out of the box and needed to be formatted and partitioned. I wasn’t a hundred percent sure how to do this, so I called the Western Digital tech support who was able to walk me through the process. Once the drive was properly formatted to my Mac, everything loaded just like it should.
I am really only using this for the storage space, to keep all of my movie files and random stuff that fills up my hard drive. I am a little nervous about putting my photos on the external drive, as I have heard too many stories about the drive crashing and treasured photos being lost forever. But for downloaded movie files and things that take up a lot of space but wouldn’t make me cry if they were lost, the drive works like a charm. The files transfer over quickly, and it generally takes about ten minutes or so for a bunch of flicks to copy to the drive.
I haven’t really fooled around with the software; I don’t really want a complete back-up of my computer every time I change a file. Some of those features seem useful if you are using your computer for a home office or business, but my computer is essentially an entertainment center so that feature isn’t as necessary.
The design on this “My Book Elite” doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence as to how long it will last. When I went to hook it up, the case was not aligned properly with the outlets, so I had to struggle to get the power cable and USB cable hooked up. This is the first time I have ever had this problem with an electrical device, so it was a shock.

This is great buy it. I put 40 movies and 1,600 songs from I Tunes on it and the bar that shows you how many GB’s you have used hardly moved. I will never use all the space it has. Easy to hook up and nothing to do after that.
