    "BUY THE SEAGATE!"

    by naebanks on July 6, 2008

    Pros: Compact Design

    Cons: HIGH FAILURE RATE!

    Summary: The Western Digital My Book is an excellent storage divice with a MAJOR flaw.
    It is UNRELIABLE and may fail at any given moment! I had one sitting on my shelf for almost three years, to back up the data in my old Dell. The Western Digital My Book failed, but the hard drive in my old Dell is still working. I will be buying a SEAGATE with it's (5) FIVE year warranty for my future back up storage.

    Forget about Customer Service a Western Digital, the guy in India was more help.
