Wester Digital, a respected brand name, and i agree!

I have owned the unit now for around 2 years, and have 0 problems. My internal hard drive has died on me twice but my external one, never!

This 80gb HDD is perfect for storing large files, home movies, photo albums, music etc. It's ideal when transfering data from one place to another, simply unplug it, plug it in elsehwre and hey presto!

It supports drag & drop so moving files couldn't be easier.

Standard power adpater with 3-pin plug, and USB 2.0 connection to your pc, mac, server etc.

It is easily recognised by each operating system and i have yet to find one that doesn't support the unit. Plug it in, wait around 30secs and it's up and running.

Can be stored horizontally, and if you have 3 like me, you can stack them perfectly, or store them vertically with the feet attahcments that come with the unit.

Quick response time from pushing the ''On'' button which in itself gives off a nice green glow.

All-in-all a great little external HDD, worth the investment for anyone who has priceless files they want to back-up!
