Good buy :)
The new edition works great and has updated software [Posted on 2008-12-02] Judging from all the reviews so far, it seems many have had problems with this drive. I just got one at Best Buy recently and have had no problems so far. It also comes with software for both Mac OS and Windows (easy time machine back up, no reformatting needed). My box also looks slightly different than the one pictured above for this product (it has a leaf symbol and the quote "30% more energy efficient" beneath the picture of the drive). At Best Buy, they did have the drives in the older box (like the one pictured), along side the new one.
Comparing what I got to what people have written so far, I believe they are now selling the upgraded version of the drive. Perhaps the first edition out on the market had problems. This one is fine so far. The firewire connection works and the drive is quiet. It is a better bet for me than the USB because I plan to use it as a back up of my videos and the firewire transfer is way faster!
If you plan to buy this drive, make sure to get the newest version which specifically lists Mac OS compatibility and has the leaf symbol on it. WD seems to have made some changes and corrections to the previous design.
Great so far [Posted on 2008-12-07] Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RF825PFICN52V
easy to use backup [Posted on 2008-12-26] It was easy to connect the hard drive and my XP desktop recognized it immediately. Software installation was a snap. I used the WD Anywhere backup program which is really Memeo auto backup software. DO NOT BUY the 30 day version because the backup software serial number is on a sticker on the backside of the installation poster which is a non-obvious and hard to find spot for customers(one reason that I do not give it 5 stars).
