 Do not buy this drive. July 14, 2008
J. Zhang (Baltimore, MD United States)
I bought two of the 1TB WD My Book Studio. The first one died upon arrival, and I had to return it. The major problem of this drive is that it tends to overheat and stops working after 12 hours of heavy disk I/O, even in air-conditioned office (78F). The five year warranty is really necessary.

I just want to write and let the world know what kind of company this is. I have owned 3 Western digital (WD) hard drives. All 3 have not lasted longer then 2 years, the most recent has only lasted 1 yr.. 4 months. But the kicker of this situation is the external hard drive WD make have a warranty of 1 year. but the internal Hard drives that are inside the units have a 3-5 year warranty. So I called WD because the hard drive inside the case went bad. So this is how the call went.
The phone rang, and I got contacted to someone over sea's and could barely speak english. I told him my problem and he said sorry it's out of warranty and there is nothing he could do. So i said the hard drive inside the unit has a 3 year warranty. he said well you bought the external hard drive so you only get a 1 year warranty. I was going no where with him so I asked to speak to a manager.
Mind you it's bad enough I lost all my info, but now I couldn't get a replacement. so the manager comes on and says there is nothing he can do. I said to him because I buy the complete package the WD makes I get punished. and if i went out and bought a internal hard drive and put it in a case i'd get a 3-5 year warranty? he responded back, yea. I said dont you think this is a little unfair? and he said sorry. So then trying to be slick I said ok so what if I take the Hard drive out will i get the 3-5 year warranty? he said no you'll void the warranty because they marry the case and the hard drive as 1 unit so they know the hard drive came out of it. But his way of solving the situation he said is they offer a service to recover the data, I asked how much does that cost. he said about $3k. I asked to talk to his manager and he sad it would take 48 hours for them to call me back. (still waiting)
Long story short, if you are interested in buying a western digital I recommend buying a internal hard drive and putting it in a case which are very cheap. Just search external hard drive case, and tons will pop up. by doing this you'll get a real warranty.
I hope this helps others from getting screwed. Good luck

This drive is awesome. I am using it on a G4 mac mini running Leopard, updated the firmware as soon as I turned it on and have not had any problems with it. It goes to and from standby all the time too :)

If you have an intel chip in your Mac then you need "my book" 1TB by Western Digital to setup Time Machine and forget it. It's quiet, fast and dependable. -----dave l

The verdict is still out on the reliability and longevity of the product, but I was not impressed with one manufacturing detail. Seems that the led indicator light is randomly installed, so the capacity of the drive can be indicated either at the bottom of the display or the top. Whether it shows at the top or bottom is a luck of the draw. The manufacturer does not see this as a problem, but I would rather have had two units with the capacity display from bottom, like a glass of water filling. I use two 1tb drives, one for my iTunes and the other for Time Machine. The price was right to have lots of backup storage.
