5.0 out of 5 stars Great External Storage, May 26, 2008

Chris (Summerville, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Western Digital 750 GB My Book Studio Edition USB 2.0 Esata FW400 FW800 (Personal Computers)

I have no complaints about this drive thus far. It worked just like it was supposed to right out of the box. The Firewire 800 transfer speeds are excellent. I like the automatic sleep feature as well. *Leopard users make sure to upgrade the firmware to the newest version to get the most compatibility out of this drive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get the Firmware Upgrade, February 16, 2009

Be sure to go to Western Digital website and get the Firmware update and Drive Manager. After installing those this drive should be stable. Like other reviewers I was having hangs especially with iTunes. Also it seems that some widgets may have been creating conflicts. But that doesn't happen after the updates.

This product is beautiful! It matches the aluminum of the iMac and MacBooks. It's fast: with FW800 it achieves real transfer rates greater than 56 MB/s. (eSATA rates would be higher, probably 110 MB/s.) Also it's quiet, cool and comes formatted in HFS+ with all necessary cables.

5.0 out of 5 stars great hard drive
The drive works great. I've had no problems so far as I've read others have in other reviews. I use it with my Mac (FW 800 connection), but I don't use it with Time Machine. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but a little too costly
The Western Digital line of hard drives is remarkably quiet and physically beautiful, and the one we just bought has a five-year warranty, which was the deciding factor.

4.0 out of 5 stars Huge, quick, quiet drive, but a little hot
The MyBook Studio Edition 750gb is a heck of a drive. More storage than I (literally) know what to do with. It's quiet, and really fast, with plenty of connection options. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the FireWire
Using USB, this seems to work fine and does what it claims. However the FireWire 800/400 connection to a PC is the pits. Read more
