I bought it for the performance, size of the drive GB , and price. Its the biggest hard drive I've purchased and had I looked carefully for its size, i would not have bought. The thing is 4 pounds, I wouldn't want to be carrying it around. But, if you are in an office where you won't need to be moving it around with you, its a great drive.
Excellent for backing up your primary drives onto, but far from portable. The extra storage space on the new My Book hard drive is excellent.
It has really allowed me to speed up my computer by moving all my large file pictures onto it. I moved about pictures onto it and it still has plenty of storage left, much more! The My Book is kind of cumbersome because of the size and weight but frankly the biggest problem with it is the short usb cord that connects the book to my computer, it is only 3 ft. I needed a simple, fairly inexpensive hard drive to store my extra files on.
I love it! It works perfectly and is about the size of a book, so it fits about anywhere. I'm ecstatic about the two firewire ports it has for easy transferring of data. What I liked was easy to set up, easy to use and Installation was a snap because you don't really install this drive, you just plug it in and it's ready to use. Also it had a USB 2. Only one thing I disliked about this was that it was a Recertified item.

In testing the two connections, it does seem the USB 2. If the drive is re-formatted prior to use under Windows NTFS or Mac OSX, for the standard drive format used by either platform, the drive is a bit speedier when writing data. I love the dual blue glowing rings on the front, the first outer ring is the power-on indicator, while the inner ring cleverly tells you how much space has been used on the drive when the drive is one quarter full, the ring will stay lit from the o-clock to 3-o-clock position.
The button-driver software allows you to push one button on front and have it shut-down and safely disengage from the USB port under Windows no need to use the icon in system tray.
This would be an excellent choice for people building new dual-core music workstations since many of the new motherboards have external SATA connectors my new Intel Core2 Duo based workstation uses an ASUS motherboard which has them.
This would be the right choice for those using an Intel Mac workstation with FW support. The fact is that hard drives write data by scribing a metal surface, where recordable disc media use dyes modified by laser heat. For long-term paranoid back-up, a hard drive is a safer choice, particularly in a fireproof safe, since the drive elements would be less susceptible to long-term heat exposure than a plastic disc with heat-sensitive dye layer holding your data on it.
