Hi,
I just bought the mybook world edition 1tb to use with ethernet connection.
Product is working as expected.
I am running it in windows 7 and ubuntu 64bits. Both are ok. Performance over ubuntu cfis protocal is much better than windows. And yes: anywhere backup is slow as hell, but works.
My backp up plan has a little over 250gb and i think will take like 72hours to complete. I have setting to encrypted files, maybe that is the reason.
I found also antivirus slow down twice the connection – turn that off when do the initial backup. You should change your power setting on windows to not allow the computer hibernate or turn off the hdd also, otherwise, u will never complete the backup in this life.
In other hand, using in linux and mouting as local drive, i am using rsync to do the job. And here is the bottom of line: ts faster, much faster, like 30mb/s.
Salute!

WD Anywhere Backup not reliable
By: Nat
September 6, 2009 @ 7:20 PM
Western Digital My book external hard drives works fine, it’s quiet, but the WD Anywhere Backup software with MEMEO is a huge disappointment and it may have something to do with Vista being buggy, but who knows?
WD Anywhere Backup stops constantly, it forgets files even if it says Backup complete!, crashes, gives error reports, refuse to start properly when you reboot your PC and basically, you never feel your files will be backed up safely.
It’s better to do things manually: copy files from your C drive to the External drive. It’s SLOW but safer.

Nice drive for more advanced users
By: Christopher Granz
July 30, 2009 @ 4:49 PM
This 1TB external drive is nice as a backup unit, but as with any hard drive I wouldn’t really carry it around on a daily basis, unless I didn’t care about a long life time. Also, the only software worth installing is the WD Anywhere Backup. Out of the box this was extremely slow and formatted as FAT32. After installing WD Anywhere Backup you should reformat this to NTFS if you are using Windows as this speeds everything up quite a bit. Also, go to msconfig and turn off the drive monitor. Everything wants to install background processes these days, and I’m annoyed at Western Digital for doing this as well. Great external drive with a little adjustment.

Worst purchase - break in 3 weeks
By: Arthur
January 28, 2009 @ 3:10 PM
I bought this drive three weeks ago. Used as extra storage for my book collection collected during last five years. I was caring it around with care so not to damage it with shock from putting bags down etc. Today connected it to PC and it is making strange sound (trying to start to spin, then makes louder motor sound and again tries to spin over and over) and is not recognized nor in my computer nor in management. Seems I have lost all my collection. I m IT person myself and I don’t rant about such things, but this piece of device totally pissed me off.
So if you are willing to have extra storage space or backup HDD buy convention hard drive and even if you don’t plan to use it actively as external/portable hard drive to share with your friends don’t use external drive, there is no point, they crash. Buy large flash instead, at least there is no moving and spinning parts that can break.

Poor Support
By: Micks Madness
January 21, 2009 @ 10:37 PM
I was really excited about this drive when I purchased it. I mean 1TB including backup software with USB, Firewire, and eSATA from a reputable company that has been building hard drives for years, all for $149.00! It seemed like a no brainer. Well….let me tell you, from the second I opened the box and saw nothing but a quick install guide, I knew this was going to be a nightmare. The WD Anywhere backup software blows, and for God’s sake, DONT INSTALL the memeo Sync software as part of the package. It caused nothing but conflict after conflict, and slowed my machine down to a screaming halt. After I realized that the memeo sync encripts your files I stopped the install only to find out that they did not provide a key to unlock your files. I spent countless hours with Habeeb, a WD tech support moron in India that told me to uninstall the program. I kept saying no…you dont understand, part of my files are encrypted and I want to delete the contents of the drive and start over. All I got from him was we don’t provide support for memeo software. I was instructed to go to the Memeo website where they #1 Don’t provide a phone number, and #2 provide email support only. Um…Yeah…Good Luck With That! I deleted my files off the drive and went to return it At COMP USA, only to find out that when I walked through the front door and told them I want an exchange, they immediately directed me to their Tech Support counter. Here I encountered a blithering idiot with a bad additude, that would have been a better hockey goalie than someone who is the first line of defense in customer service. Of course he tested the unit and it turned on, so he said to me “I’m sorry but the unit works, I cannot exchange it. So now I have to go into the whole story again with him, and yeah, but my files are all encripted with no key, and the hard drive needs to be erased. The bottom line, they wanted a 15% restocking fee. As you can imagine…I became un-hinged and they had to call a manager were I had to tell this story one more time! DONT BUY THIS DRIVE, IT’S NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE.

WD NO-Where backup
By: Dave
January 5, 2009 @ 12:15 PM
Just bought this 1TB drive at Costco yesterday. So far my WINXPPRO computer is SUUUPERRR SLOOWWWW and the WD ANYWHERE BACKUP software is the culprit. My computer went to hibernation last night, it took 3 restarts this morning to get it going again, the backup software immediately gave error messages and popups about the backup media being full (it only got 6 GB backed up last night in 2 hours before going to hibernation). I like WD hardware, but this softare is worthless. I’ll probably just use XCOPY and either stay with this hardware or return it.

Don’t take the chance of losing your pictures, or other information. We use this external hard drive, and somehow all of our 5,000 pictures and iTune music got lost. COULD NOT FIND IT!! It didn’t transfer to the hard drive, and it got lost it on our computer. We had to buy another program ($100) to restore lost/deleted items. I would not take the chance if I were you. DO NOT BUY!!!!

Don't use the software
By: Richard
November 28, 2008 @ 12:55 AM
The software that comes with the drive is awful and should not be used. I re-formatted the drive to NTFS and it worked just like a regular drive. I have used many WD drives over the years and they all have held up well. Negatives are no eSata cable, bad software, and nowhere do they mention whether the drive inside is SATA I or SATA II, an issue for me since I’m reading and writing video files to it. The fact that WD tech support is not good will mean long hold times and slow responses if I have a problem in the future.

Lost GB
By: Candy
September 2, 2008 @ 9:18 AM
I got the external drive today at Costco ($119 plus tax, $0.238/GB + tax), thinking it must be a good deal! First thing that upset me is the instruction: SHOULD YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM, PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THIS PRODUCT TO THE STORE BEFORE CAREFULLY READING YOUR USER MANUAL.
But where are your instructions? After I go through all the instructions/ answers/ questions, from the official Western Digital site, I finally come to a conclusion: Format the driver (which make sense to clear the pre-installed junks- google tool bar, adobe, etc) and then build some partition. It took a good old 2 hours to format the drive, and guess what? The 500GB harddrive is actually a 465GB hard drive!! I have lost a good old 35GB (around $9.5 including tax) + my valuable time to ‘figure’ out the instruction + format the drive.
I have not tested the drive, and I am calling a refund!

I bought this drive from Costco a few weeks ago, and it runs absolutely fantastic. Being a video editor, I’m used to buying the more expensive LaCie drives, but as my budget keeps shrinking, I had to look for more cheaper alternatives. This drive suprisingly delivered very well. But it’s not unusual for some people to have a more positive experience than others with any of the same technology. Lemons do crop up here and there and shouldn’t reflect on the overall product, as this drive has had many positive reviews then some of the other leading ext HD vendors out there.

I had the same problem as the one mentioned by Paul Pepin (see post “Worst drive ever purchased” by Paul Pepin on Jul 20th, 2008 at 9:53 PM):
It seems that after a certain period of inactivity the drive pure and simple disappears, as if it were never installed. Getting it back online seemed tedious, having to reboot my PC. I will return it promptly. For the record, I connected it via USB to a XP machine.
Best,

Worst drive ever purchased

July 20, 2008 @ 9:53 PM
Problems with this drive since day 1. Tech support is not very good at all. For 3 days after contacting them, I heard nothing. Then I get a response stating the drive is not supported under Windows 2003. Fine, my bad. I installed the drive on an XP machine and the drive just kept disappearing. I contacted them again. Guess what, the drive is only supported on 3 eSATA controllers. Where does it state that in the product information? So, I connected the drive via USB 2.0 and the drive is still failing. WD is refusing to exchange the drive. Don’t waste your money. Buy a drive from a different manufacturer.

I bought the 500GB model. It ran fairly well for a year. The warranty period (which is not that long) is only good from the date of Manufacture, not the date you purchased the drive. The warranty expired in Sep 07 and here we are in May 08 with a failure. If you are not wanting to replace the drive every couple of years, stay away from this brand.

Failure to Copy Large Files My Book Home Ed. (Mac G5 PPC OS10.4.11
By: John
April 28, 2008 @ 1:02 PM
Had high hopes. Good looking and quiet, to be sure. Can’t believe they don’t provide esata cable. That makes it difficult to test the drive as I don’t live near any source for cable. Will have to pay the price, order online and wait for shipping.
I may not go to the trouble though since the drive fails repeatedly to transfer large (8-12GB) files. I have three other external hard drives of different brands and all have no trouble with the task so I must believe it is the problem of the “My Book Home Edition” WD claims it’s a Mac problem but I don’t believe it. As one of the proposed solutions they suggest don’t use USB but the Firewire. I tried both and both fail. They also suggest upgrading to OS 10.5. “My Book” ….not.

Got the drive up and running in a jiffy. The backup anywhere software slows the computer down to a crawl and is unbelievably slow. So don’t install it unless you got really big iron. The software is only a 30 day trial anyway, which WD forgot to mention. Use Windows or Apple system backup software that you already got on your machine, or just use copy. It is much faster.

Could someone lend me a pen?
By: Walter
January 27, 2008 @ 4:17 PM
A pen would be good, cause I think I could backup to paper faster than this thing.
In all fairness the drive itself is fine, its the lousy piece o’ crap Memeo software I’m at issue with (WD Backup Anywhere). I set the thing to backup my hard drive (~120GB) on Monday. This weekend it was half way done – I gave up and uninstalled the piece of junk. I was sorely tempted to have an office space moment but how do you put a bat through a piece of software?
No matter how small the files it takes a few seconds _per file_. No kidding. Have these guys not heard of DMA? Even the lousy windows copy is ~100 times faster. My 16 month old could right more efficient code.
What’s more if you leave the software running for a few hours the thing eats up over 500MB of ram and my computer crawls to a stop. Even when it hasn’t eaten all the memory it ties up the processor to the point that I can barely open the window to cancel the backup.
I’m typing this while I use my old-fashioned backup technique – windows copy. I’m serving music to my Tivo, opening files, browsing – no problem.
I think this would be a better product if there was no added SW. WD – stick to the HW, something you know how to do. Thanks for wasting my time.
I would give this a 1 but my brother stuck an Apple sticker on it which gives it a little more class.

Excellent, silent and very fast. no Esata cable.No Mac software, boo!
By: Neil Fiertel
January 26, 2008 @ 2:23 PM
The comments I have read are all over the map in terms of speed and so forth. I just bought three of these drives at excellent prices no doubt due to the el cheapo and nervous making flimsy case BUT one is not buying furniture but storage space. I reformatted each of the three drives to GUID boot and Mac extended journalled and downloaded to each drive one at a time a very large 2 gig folder of varying file sizes and all three did the job in just over a minute with firewire on a Mac running 10.4.11 which is the last iteration of the Tiger version of OSX Mac. If anyone is having trouble with this drive with a Mac I suggest that the drive requires 10.4.8 or greater so perhaps that is the issue of at least one of the comments regarding the drive. I understand as well there are issues with Vista but I would not be so foolish as to use that dog in any case. I repeat, the MyBook is fast, nearly dead silent and cool running. I intend to use it with eSATA soon to get the super fast functionality of that transfer tech but in the meantime, I am happy with the drive and hope that all of them are mechanically and electrically dependable. By the way, the software for Mac had no instructions..no nothing other than a reference to Growl unix based open source code…I just dumped it and am using standard stuff instead…Carbon Copy Cloner though there are many others that no doubt would work.

Excellent External Hard drive
By: Jun aka Pekto
January 15, 2008 @ 10:54 AM
I bought the 500 GB version. Right off the bat, I ditched the built-n software because I preferred the tried and true Drag n Drop method. I experienced none of the slowdowns or horror stories told by other owners here. Oases used are Win XP and Vista Home Premium, using both FW400 and USB2.
It’s hard to get excited about a mere archival/backup device since the market is flooded with different makes. But, my 500 GB My Book has been quietly reliable thus far.
I agree with the review. I’d give it a 10 if it came with an eSATA cable.

Wow, I’ve had this thing destroy itself twice after plugging it into a Mac via the Firewire port. It worked fine on USB, but plug in Firewire and it reformats it to FAT32. Well, it doesn’t reformat it, it just wipes itself out and then it thinks it is a FAT32 file system. If using those different ports on the back is important to you, I would not buy this drive. If your data is important to you, I would not buy this drive.

Worked great using SuperDuper backup for a MacBook and firewire 400
By: Mike Brown
December 27, 2007 @ 11:51 AM
My daughters MacBook was running out of room so I made a bootable MAC backup with Super Duper (Mac backup software) and it took probably an hour for the 80 gig 90% full old drive 4200 RPM I believe. Much quicker to restore to the 160 gig 5400 drive. This was the first time to go through this process and I was happy with the My Book 1 GB but especially thrilled using the Super Duper software. The software that came with the My Book I tried to use but ended up giving up for Super Duper since I wanted bootable and could not figure out the My Book approach for this. If anyone needs to upgrade a MacBook like I did go to http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130. I did the RAM too as described there. Thanks to whomever has this posted for us non-techies.

Sloooooow . . . . . . .
By: Jim
December 14, 2007 @ 10:46 AM
I have two relevant comments:
1) The software interface is terribly un-intuitive. Apparently they wanted to make it dummy-proof, but the result is it just doesn’t tell you what is going on. There are freeware sync programs which are better. For example, when you backup the application software that comes with the device, it doesn’t even tell you where it stored the files (the location on your PC’s internal drive). However, a software shortcoming would not be a show-stopper here.
2) The real issue is that this device is unbelievably slow. Much slower than a 6 year old 160 gig device I had on hand. I had 50 Gigabytes of data to backup, and after 14 hours it is still not finished.
I am very disappointed. Take a pass on this one if you care about speed.
