Western Digital WDG1U5000
I recently purchased this hard drive from Amazon.com to properly handle my space issues. I usually buy countless DVDs to store everything but sometimes I don’t want to put things away but instead I want to easily open them. This drive was being sold for U$138 at the time and I jumped on that deal very quickly.
This My Book features USB 2.0 and a very simple setup process. The process is as follows: plug it in- turn on your computer. My computer doesn’t even know this is an external hard drive. As far as my PC is concerned this is just another large hard drive on my system. This means I can use this drive just like my regular IDE drive with no issues.
Of the 500GB I have about 298GB left because I had to deal with my immediate issues. My Book is quiet, secure and looks discrete on my desk. The design is like a big book- somewhere between a small dictionary and the bible.
Another great product from Western Digital. All my hard drives (whether internal or external) are made by and will continue to be made by WD.
