My Book Studio Edition II WDH2Q10000 - hard drive array

Western Digital My book 500GB hard drive

Advantages: small, lots of storage and really reliable
Disadvantages: less portable than a small form hard disk drive, needs main to use

This is my second hard drive. The first one I bought was a sony vaio that I bought off of ebay - a portable 120GB hard disk drive from the far east. It started giving me disk read and write errors about three to four months after I bought it. Moral of the story, buy from a reputable manufacturer and seller. So I bought this from Amazon co uk, who are by far a superior online seller. Prices have come down and i managed to get this for £60 including free delivery. The drive is compact, not portable. It needs to be plugged into mains as well as the computer which makes it less portable, but it is so quiet I can't even hear that is switched on even when it is writing or reading. I would highly recommend this product or even one of the bigger sized ones, though I couldn't afford the 1TB mybook. Remember 500GB is marketing ...

Review of My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U5000 500 GB

Western Digital can join my studio any day!

Advantages: small, fast big space.
Disadvantages: no regrets.

For me Western Digital hard drives are the best as they deliver great performance and storage at very reasonable prices. This is no exception. The Studio Edition is a very cool and funky, 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 very small, and its a marvel that it can store so much in a limited space. Ahh, the beauty of technology. At 8cm in width, by 1.5 in height and 13 cm in depth, the studio fails to take up much space on your desk or on top of your pc tower. Its a miniscule 105 gs which means i can hold it in one palm quite easily. The stainless steel enclosure case is attractive and i hardly notice the sounds it makes when transferring files, thats how quiet this metal box is! Polished aluminium finish ...

Review of My Book Studio Edition WDH1Q5000 500 GB

Unbeatable price on WD My Book Studio 2 External Hard Drive

Advantages: Unbeatable value, excellent delivery times
Disadvantages: None

I've been looking for an external hard drive to store my HD video footage on for a few months and have been waiting for the prices to drop on the larger 2TB drives. I saw the Western Digital My Book Studio 2 External Hard Drive on Digital Fusion at an unbeatable price and having never heard of the company was a bit wary initially - the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true.." sprung to mind! After a quick bit of research on Digital Fusion, including reading reviews on this site, I decided to go ahead with the purchase and am very glad I did! Email acknowledgement of my order was instant and the item arrived the very next day, exceeding delivery expectations. Packaging was excellent and the drive was very easy to setup and use. I will definitely be using Digital Fusion again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking ...
