I bought this drive to separate my data from my bootable O/S drive, so I could use Windows 7 to create an image of my O/S. The install took all of 5 minutes. I did have to purchase the data cable separately, and a conversion power cable as my machine was out of the SATA power cables.
This drive is really, really fast. Moving my data files over (about 30GB) took minutes, compared to copying them to a USB drive or DVD which was a pain.
My machine performance and boot up seems faster now too. I did move my paging file to this second drive, and I think having the data on a different drive helps with the O/S performance too.

Just plug it in WIndows loads a driver,and it is ready to go without using any software. It is silent. No problems with very large files or file names. I always do full manual backups of whole files and folders using a file transfer program, NOT backup software So I did not use the included software disk. My Files are fine!
It uses the included External Power Supply. It does not run off of the usb power alone, as some smaller external drives do, but no problem to plug in the included adapter.The adapter is similar to anything else, like cell phone chargers, etc. The drive capacity is huge. It is so large I am able to backup the data from two or three computers, and folks , that includes lots of recorded TV and iTunes music. The design is simple and elegant. A smart black tower with only the HP logo and an intense modern blue led when the drive is accessed. It stands upright but is not too lightweight to cause worry. I am very happy with this drive and would not hesitate to get a second

So i've had the archos 5 android 160gb tablet for two days now and I could not be more happier. I think your satisfaction depends on what you want to use it for. I bought it so I could browse the internet and put my entire anime collection in it. These two purposes have been fulfilled. the A5A has the fastest web browser, even faster than my iphone 3g's. I like the fact that you can easily read the text on webpages without having to zoom. On the video front; it has played all my videos very perfectly. There are some that I cant fast forward but i think its because they are encoded differently, they are however viewable. one thing that it doesnt have yet, is flash 10. you can't view flash videos within their webpage, nor can you go to the full version of youtube and watch videos. you can watch videos in the mobile version of youtube site, but i can't ever seem to find the same videos there are in the full version.
While this machine has Android, there are not many apps, which i

Well what can I say? I LOVE IT! I don't understand how you gonna make something so SLEEK/SEXY but not make it with a good battery life. You already took away the SD card, must you take away the life of the Camera as well? If you end up getting this, I suggest you get an extra battery if not look for a battery with a bigger mAh. There is currently a 750mAh that comes with the camera, so anything higher then that is what you are looking for. I came across a 650mAh at the Best Buy store but of course that is not good enough. So I will continue to search for bigger battery. I suggest you keep the camera on Auto so your photo's come out good with out having to set anything, but if you camera person and you know how to adjust things then you can go to program. Although this camera has the small LCD I would suggest not to use it all the time unless it is a must to help conserve power, in addition to that there are two features on the camera to help conserve power as well.

i purchased this item as a birthday gift and my boyfriend LOVES it! i was apprehensive after reading the other reviews that it would have horrible reception, poor battery life and the radio would not work various places. was wrong... it's GREAT! i was not familiar with satellite radio and did not know what stations were offered or anything. thank goodness the best buy sales rep knew her stuff, she was a great help and answered every questiion i had.
i was totally missing out - satellite radio is the best!
although we experience static every now and then, it is not very often at all and the device has not died on him once. he is faithful in charging the battery, just like a cell phone, so battery life is not an issue.
what we particularly love about the xmp3 is the ability to transfer music to the device just like an ipod, except in less time and with fewer steps. In addition to the jams he records from the radio, he has his own albums on the device too - perfect for him since

Bought it to use with my WD TV HD Media Player, so the main reason I went with this and not WD My Book, is because this one fits into the shelves. No problems so far, been using it for 4-5 months, just dreaded clicking noise, which drives me nuts - i'm afraid it will give up one day.

I highly recommend you do further research on these drives before even thinking about buying one.
My drive crashed with a total loss of data after only 13 months of very light use.
Be aware that some (if not all) Iomega external hard drives contain the Seagate Barracuda drive 7200.11 (or various versions of it). These drives have a well known and well documented problem that Seagate has acknowledged and is addressing by offering a replacement (or fix) and free data recovery - even out of warranty products are being addressed.
HOWEVER, because Iomega only makes the box that contain a Seagate drive, any recourse over the failure of these drives is almost impossible – you cant talk to Seagate – you have to talk to Iomega.
Iomega has NO real knowledge of the hardware because they DO NOT manufacture the drive inside the box (I tried contacting Iomega and Seagate and was unable to get a response from either of them that was worthy of noting here

I bought this laptop a little over a week ago and I absolutely love it! It was set up at best buy and was ready to go when I walked out of the store, it couldn't have been easier! It is easy to use and the blue ray is unbelievable! I bought the cord to connect it to my hdtv and it looks great on the big screen too! if you want a laptop under $1000, this is the one! You can't find a better product for the price! Enjoy! I am!

Very user friendly remote, easy to program and set up. Great picture quality. Excellant sound quality. Great value for the amount of money spent. Would definately reccommend to anyone as a primary or secondary television. I have yet to find anything negative to say about this product. We are very happy with it.

Picture quality is better than expected for its size. Contents download with ease onto your laptop and you are ready to film again. Overall a great product for catching moments you would miss if you had to drag out the big camcorder.

Had this drive several months now and it performs great. I knew before I purchased it that it was known to be a little slow on writing data, but I'll gladly take that disadvantage knowing the solid rep of WD to be a long lasting drive. Great product otherwise and for a good price.

Great little product here! If you had the problem I did with a dead desktop and had all your hard drives as SATA internals, then this is the product for you!
I took out 2 (1) TB SAMSUNG drives and put them in the docking station and they work perfectly. Both can be operating at the same time.
and YES, You can run 2 eSATA drives at the same time. There's a little insert explaining to those who cannot get it to work. Its simple, if your eSata port on your computer doesnt support the Port Multiplier function then it wont work. So make sure your eSata card supports it. If not, the USB works perfect as it's built into all PCs.
This also can be used as a media player but you may need to format the drive to FAT32 as thats what I had to do to make it show up.
There's ONE power button to turn one or both drives on at the same time. Both lights stay on the entire time regardless if there is a drive in the slot or not. This is fine. If the drive has read or write

I bought this computer when Windows 7 was out. I changed my HPDV2000 and i am very happy. The screen is big and wide, very good for using parallel view windows, now very easy to do with 7.
Keyboard is very confortable, and it's temperature is stable all the time, not as my last laptop.
I specially recommended for entertaiment user, casual gamers, and everyday computing.
Great choice.
My best buy.

I've been a pc user for years just like all the others above. Like they said it took longer to unhook the pc and get it out of the way then it did to set this thing up and surf the net for the first time. It's really easy to use, but I still have some learning to do. The last mac i played with was 12 years ago in school. The screen is beautiful, the sound could be better but what do you expect from built in monitor speakers lol. Thats why I have external speakers. As they mentioned the keyboard is kinda small, but you get used to it. I would like to have had a numeric keypad but oh well, maybe a little ways down the road I'll buy one. Well thats my two cents worth..
Oh yeah I bought mine at best buy, and it only cost 189 for 2 years replacement.

Pros Superb low light response. Excellent Mac compatibility Reasonable price Generally good set of options in the menu. 37mm threaded front lens so it it is compatible with a large assortment of attachments Reasonable HD performance Also functions as a pretty good and easy still camera Cons Zoom speed cannot be slowed or controlled in any way. No mic or audio line input. General Discussion All things considered, this is a fine product. If you are a Mac person this will save you many hours of work. The MPEG4 file format is very mac friendly. But there are a few things to keep in mind. This camera has an unusually large aperture; as such this has some interesting consequences. On the positive side, this produces stunning low light capabilities. Furthermore, one can isolate the subject from the background very easily by carefully controlling ones exposure and focus; few other consumer camcorders have this ability. However this places great strain on the auto focus. If one is simply

The Good - Compared to the hard drive's I've purchased in the past, I would highly recommend this one. Besides the amount of additional space it provides, it expeditiously serves its purpose.
The Bad - If you're tech saavy, the initial setup is a piece of cake. DO NOT LOSE THE INSTALLATION DISK!!! Unlike my Seagate drives (simple plug and play) if you hot swap between computers, you'll need the disk to install the drivers and other nonsense that makes it run smooth.
The Ugly - If you have no clue what RAID is, find a smaller hard drive.
