Great value good deal!
abkmom  from Suburbs of Milwaukee Wisconsin,  Nov 14, 2009
Yeah I paid nearly 60 dollars but I got plenty for it and I see now the price has gone up since I bought it, and honestly its worth even more because I priced these and other brands and this is the best deal I could find. It plugs and goes just fine, there is No learning curve, its simple easy and so far is working like a dream ( had it for a month now) so yes, definitely worth the purchase and Overstock sent this quickly, they aren't always that quick, but on this item, it worked out fine and the only reason I won't give it a 5 star is because its small but bulky and I think it would have deserved 5 stars if they had miniaturized it just a bit more so it would be less bulky but its fine otherwise, I have it on a coffee table by my chair where I keep my laptop and I run backups weekly and it sits right there doing its thing and giving me a sense of security. :)

Satisfied
behrfox  from Louisville, KY,  Nov 11, 2009
I found this product easy to install with software preloaded in the device. It has taken much of the storage burden from my pc and laptop, while using only a small percentage of space in the new hard drive.. The MyBook product is attractive and fits anywhere an upright book would fit. It is working well and was a bargain. I'm very happy.

The product was easy to install and compact. My hope is for good reliability.Set-up could be easier if instructions were included in printed form.

Great so far...
bjgarrett  from Cincinnati, OH,  Sep 3, 2009
I've only had this for a couple of weeks, but it works great! I just hope it's still this smooth in a year and later.

My Book
eagles31  from mARCUS ioWA,  Aug 28, 2009
this product was very easy to install and use. I use mine through a wireless hub and have excellent results. I received it in a timely fashion and had no problems with installation or use. All the instuctions were easy to follow and very useful. I would recommend this product to anyone and the use of it would be for a primary backup which could be stored off-site and brought in on a weekly or monthlh basis to backup small systems;.

Great External Hard Drive
will00  from Colorado,  Aug 21, 2009
Purchased this drive because I ran out of space on my internal hard drive and 160GB external and this one turned out to be one of the best ones I have ever used. Easy installation, fast, and extremely quiet. I highly recommend it, although it is not the best for traveling (a little bulky and requires power input). Great for backups.

great price
msc336  from Minneapolis, MN,  Aug 15, 2009
Overstock.com has never failed me. I received exactly what I asked for. I have own the 500 Gb harddrive for 2 months and no problems. Only problem I had was the courier--they through it over my back fence and I found it a week later with no apparent damage

This was a good buy. Despite some of the reviews stating they weren't able to register this product with WD, I had no problems registering it and even have a years warranty with them now.This item works with the Windows 7 Ultimate (build 7000), but as of yet, I haven't been able to get it to work with the RC build 7100. But I was able to download the software so I can make my own installation CD.

I had no problems with it. A 5 year old could set up the installation for this. I've had it for about 3 weeks now. Still as good as the day I got it.

I can finally have the huge jump drive i need to store all my extras. From itunes music and movies to my personal files. It does not take up alot of desk space, it does slow my computer down a bit, but i think thats because i have too much stuff on there already! but overall, i really enjoy this because of the price. I got it for 55% off and i do not care that its refurbished! it works great and i REALLY needed a hard drive, so buying from the O made it VERY easy!

WD Hard Drive
bethco1  from Maine,  Mar 13, 2009
I was a little worried cause this is a refurb, but so far, so good. Of course, one should review it a year out, not a few weeks after delivery! Still, it was a fantastic price and so far it's running just fine. Looks like new as well...added bonus! I will a little disappointed that the backup software that's included with the drive is 30-day limited trial copy. Otherwise, perfectly satisfied!

Pros: Easy to hook up and use. Cons: I had to reformat it to hold a full image of my C drive and lost all the applications that came with the drive. Since it is refurbished you cannot register it for support; therefore you cannot reload the apps. Partly my fault I guess....

This back up drive was so easy to install and the software that comes with it worked flawlessly. Even refurbished, the drive looks and works just like brand new. I am very pleased with this purchase.
