As good as all the other WD's

Advantages: everything - space, look, price
Disadvantages: none

This is a very cool and compact metal-cased storage device that works as well as you would expect from Western Digital, which means phenomenal performance at a great price.

Design

Its presented in a big box, and I was very relieved (and also surprised) to see how small it actually is! At 8cm in width, by 1.5 in height and 13 cm in depth, the passport fails to take up much space on your desk or on top of your pc tower. ...

Instructions

The instructions were straight forward to plug it in, and watch it go. I inserted the USB canle and within a minute of plugging it in I received the software had been recognised and it was well on its way to fulfilling its purpose.

Quick review of WD Elements Desktop WDE1U5000 500 GB

Seriously, if you want to buy one of these to go with a Mac: don't! Stick to Lacie! I've had nothing but trouble with mine. A dog. Looks quite nice, but the star was awarded because you can't enter 0 stars, which is what I was trying to give it. Avoid at all costs! Ian ...
