 Simple and effective July 4, 2008
Excellent little piece of kit. Simple to use - no real installation as it sets itself up. I'm not particularly 'techy' so I don't know whether it's fast or not but it does all I want it to do - backing up pictures, documents etc. and with the included software you can take your own desktop images, programmes and work with you to use on any computer. Jolly clever.
Worth buying July 4, 2008
Small and compact. Large capacity. Would not have purchased a smaller capacity model having used this one. Installation simple and fast. Used on a laptop and had no problems with power. Additional power lead is available if required. I use a USB1 port which seems fast enough. Take time with initial installation program, not all software supplied needs to be installed. Google software supplied is good but not essential. The WD sync software is fast, efficient and well worth loading. Makes backing up selected files fast and simple. Recommended.

This must be the worse thing I have ever bought, nothing but problems, plug it in software installs then it just hangs and drive clicks away for ever with the pc seeing one minute but not the next.
"This Thing? Oh, I've Had It Ages!" July 2, 2008
Amazon Prime is great, I ordered this Sunday and got it yesterday. It really is a gorgeous little drive. I plugged it straight into my Sony Vaio with Vista and the laptop recognized it straightaway, no hassles there.
As others have done I deleted the sync software that came with it and saved myself 250MB into the bargain.
I didn't get a carry case or anything but wish I had now. I've had this for less than a day and taking it out of my bag at work this morning the top of the case was covered with lots of tiny scratches, hence my review title, just in case the wife says "I've never seen that before"!
Its' a shame that it scratches so easily, but really it's the performance of the drive that matters and this performs beautifully. My advice would be to get a case of some kind, but if you don't it'll still do it's job well.
Very highly recommended.
Carry case for this drive June 26, 2008

The drive is excellent and very small. After reading reviews on Amazon I didn't buy Amazon's recommended carry case as it may be too big. Now I've got the drive I find it fits very snugly into the protective case from my HP IPAQ PDA. Now to find one of them....
