Works great once BIOS was updated

I purchased two of these drives for a home server. After I installed them, I couldn't get them to format no matter what I tried. The format would go for hours and finally abort. The motherboard was only about a year old, but I ended up downloading the latest BIOS update and applied it. After that, everything worked great!

One thing to BEWARE - The first drives I purchased were shrink-wrapped, but when I got them home and opened them, they ended up being 20GB Maxtor IDE drives. Somebody must have pulled a switch and returned them. I was able to get replacements at another Best Buy. Word of advice, open the boxes while still in-store to make sure they are the right drives.

Great 1st Camera for my 12 year old!

I got this camera for my 12 year old to take on a vacation. She has had no problems learning to operate it. The software that downloads to your computer as soon as you plug in the usb is easy to use and understand. I looked for quite awhile to find a camera that was easy, inexpensive, small and would take "stills" as well as video--- this is a nice option without being too cheap. It was cheaper in the store than online however- so might be worth a drive to an actual store. The only drawback I have found so far is that the memory can only be downloaded to a computer so if you are on an extended trip (more than a day or two) and plan to film alot you might be better off with a camera that had internal memory and a memory card to expand your filming capability.

Easy to install, very fast drive

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.

Excellent drive

This drive worked as a great replacement drive in a Dell laptop. Swapped them out and had no problems. This drive is a rocket compared to the original drive and is very fast compared to the equivalent Western Digital that Best Buy sells. Insist on this drive, even if it costs a few bucks more. You won't regret it.

Great Camcorder

Unlike many others, we purchased this camcorder for family use only. We just wanted to capture videos of our 2 yr old son playing, fishing and holiday fun, or for just whatever. We didn't need alot of bells and whistles, but this one seems to have it all and it is really easy to understand the directions. We love that it is small and fits great in a large camera case. It gets an incredible picture. We're still learning the software and how to download to the computer and dvd. But so far it's been great!

Small and good

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.

wow what a camera.. much better than flip

i have been taking video for years for my career. this unit gives incredible quality in a small package. this blows my flip video camera out of the water!!

LIFE SAVING PRODUCT HERE

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  more

Do Not Buy

I highly recommend you do further research on these drives before even thinking about buying one. These drives have a well known and well documented problem (that Seagate has acknowledged). Mine crashed with a total loss of data after only 13 months of use. Also, be aware that some Iomega products (external hard drives) contain the Seagate Barracuda drive - note that if your Iomega product fails then your only recourse will be with them and NOT Seagate - Iomega don’t make the drives (they make the box it goes in) , any warranty claim must be made through Iomega making it very difficult to honor any claim you may have against a failed drive.

OK Drive

Put hard drive in an External Maxtor II one touch case to replace bad drive. When I start the drive it sounds like its about to die. But after about 3 minutes it becomes quite. After the startup is complete the drive only makes expected noise of being wrote to.

One Big Hard Drive

I converted over to Windows 7 and thought this would be a great time to get a new hard drive and might as well make it big. I plan on working with video a lot more this coming year and this is a great way to start.

Great hardware, have to work with the software

There are some great reviews about this product already posted on this website so mine will simply echo them. The hardware is good (processor is a bit slow so it struggles when you are downloading torrents and mediatomb is indexing at the same time), its relatively quiet (I am sure it will be even better once I figure out how to shut the fan off) and drive installation is a breeze. Where it suffers, which seems to be the case in every one of these linux devices, is the stock firmware just doesn't do what you want it to. I bought this unit because of the development going on around it and it does not disappoint. Its relatively painless to upgrade the abilities of the unit, a few hours at most and you will be up and running with a stable upnp/DLNA client, ftp server, bit torrent client and more. However, you should be prepared to do a little text based editing.

MY BOOK 500GB

I recently upgraded three family computers to Windows 7. I used it to back up important files to restore after the the upgrade. I also recently upgraded my laptop hard to larger drive. I used the Acronis Software the Best BUY Technicians recommended the Mybook HD made this simple and fast.

Great Camcorder!

I bought this on spur of the moment to film a school play. It was great. Overall I think it is a great camcorder, esp. for the price. It charged fully in 2 hours and lasted. The pictures and recordings were crisp. It did bother me trying to switch between taking pics and back to recording. This would take a bit more time than you may like, though no more than 10 seconds. Also, when zooming, it doesn't gradually zoom in or out. It will jump to each zoom level. Not so much a problem for what I needed, but it was a bit unexpected. This one does not come with anymore than a few minutes memory, so you will need to also purchase a mem card.
Though these small things were noticed, I do overall think this is a great buy and have absolutely no regrets about purchasing it.

Very good cd/dvd burner

Just purchased this drive to replace a drive [different brand] that "went south". This unit is fast, quiet, easy to install and at a very good price. I would rate this drive 5 stars and yes I would recomment it to anyone.

Good Case for the Money

This is the second one of these cases I have set up. The first was very easy to set up. This one just barely allowed my 4890 video card to fit because of the placement of the hard drive cage. After I finished setting up the computer and turning it on I noticed that both of the front USB ports had been smashed, obviously at the factory as there were no dents on the box or the case. Fortunately a short call to Antec support resulted in them saying they will mail a replacement for the ports so I don't have to tear everything apart to return the case.

Great Drive

I've always had Maxtor drives in the past and have never had any problems with them. They just don't die. I've still got an old 20 GB Maxtor from 2001. That said, this is my first WD drive and I'm really happy with it. The price is good, lots of storage, and it seems to be pretty quick. I'll have a better idea in a couple weeks once my new system is done; right now it's running off of a Promise SATA PCI card. If you're looking for a good 1 TB drive, I see no reason to not get this one.

Nice drive, but watch out for warranty!

One of the primary reasons I bought this drive was for the 5 year warranty. I want a reliable drive for backups. However, when I registered the drive online, it showed the warranty running out in three years. I tried to resolve the issue via email to no avail--even after sending in proof of the purchase. I called customer support and they said it must just have a 3 yr warranty. I pointed them to their web site where it stated 5 yrs. The warranty info in the box also said 5 yrs. They told me to email proof of purchase in again to another email address. I did that and still no update to the warranty period. I've read about other people having the same experience. So if you are buying the drive for the 5 yr warranty, you may not be getting what you expect.

Done what it should do.

Got this NAS with a pair of 1-TB Western Digital Cavier Eco for a week now, so far works great no problem and an affordable price. Morphology design is not as cool as the Cisco-Linksys, but cost 2X less, and done the same exact job I don't blame it, don't go for the looks, since it stored away. Recommended, but better if users are above intermediate in order to get the best out of NAS, setting up FTP ip with Router, Switches etc..
