I am now on my second replacement for the My Book Pro drive. That means I've gone through three of these drives, and they've all had the same problems, as follows:
(1) They overheat, fan becomes very loud, and the drive may shut down randomly while you're working with it.
(2) The drive is falsely advertised to work with FireWire 400, but it does not. I've tested multiple cables and computers. It doesn't work.
(3) The drive may crash your computer if you have a Mac with Leopard. I've confirmed this repeatedly. It's the drive, not the computer, which works great when the drive isn't connected.
If you end up getting an RMA replacement drive from Western Digital, beware of the fact that you may get a crappy, scratched and scuffed drive. They DO NOT care about the aesthetic appearance of the replacement drives and will send you anything just to shut you up. I kept my drive in pristine condition and got an ugly replacement that looked like it had been through a battle zone.
Bottom line:

The main issue is the decibel level of the machine. It has a fan which at low rpm is tolerable, but quickly will rev up to the point that you don't want to be around the thing. Unless you have it situated in a place where sound is not an issue, then go ahead and purchase it. Otherwise, the drive does what it is designed to do and is a good value for its specs.

This unit is the worst peripheral I've ever attached to a computer. I went as far as stuffing it behind my desk and covering as many holes as possible between it and the room. I still can't stand it. My WD 500G drive is blissfully quiet. This 1T is akin to using a hair dryer. I use it on my Mac with Time Machine and other manual backups from other external drives. I shut it off as soon as possible. It's so loud you'll hear it over your videos and music! Don't waste your money.
