"3 Drives Failed SMART test within a week!"
Pros: installs easy, aesthetic
Cons: has to run CHKDSK on every bootup
Summary: The drives worked beautifully for less than a week (2 new 500 Gb Essential version, 1 160 Gb Essential version), then went to a blue screen error on every bootup with tens of thousands of "file record segment unreadable" errors in contiguous blocks of 4 and 6. Ran WD test - SMART test failed, it could not run an extended test at all. No help from WD (which has long been my favorite brand of HD-over 10 years). All 3 drives fail on every test on every computer (Win XP SP2). Completely destroyed all my backups (only reason for buying this product)!!!
I think their quality control really collapsed on this one!
