Customer Reviews:

Western Digital, this drive is unstable..........2005-01-05

I bought this drive 5 months ago, and used it for video backups from my iMac. It worked perfectly until I accidentally hit the plug with my foot and powered it down - it wasn't in the process of doing anything at the time, but that was enough for it to stop working, and start the dreadful clickling and clacking of doom. Luckily western digital has a good warranty, and they sent me a replacement drive.
The rainy season was opon us here in southern california recently, and we had one 2 minute power outage, and my replacement drive once again went kablooie, clicking and clacking, making me want to beat it with a two by four until it followed orders, but all was in vain, and here on my desk sits a shiny brand new western digital replacment. Anyone want to buy a brand new drive? I'll go buy a maxtor or something else, anything else. 3 drives later it still sucks, don't buy this.

Mine died after 17 months, just outside of warranty period.......2005-01-01

Purchased 7/27/03 (the 120G, pink neon, usb/iee1394), died 2 weeks ago, serious bummer. I was in the process of backing up a full 120G+ of data from a RAID 0 array. Full drive powered down and just decided to come back on with a series of very loud "clicks and buzzing", after of course I had formatted my source drives with only about 1/4 of all work backed up on DVD's. A valuable lesson, in how not to trust a single back up option. From the similiar reviews, I would steer clear of these, an internal drive of similiar capacity would save you a lot of $$$ (I paid $250 for this flashy monstrosity), and be arguably more reliable. If you are in need of the portability, get a removable 5.25" bay for less than $20. This will be my last WD, as it's the 3rd to go down on me just past warranty.

Lost 2 of these.......2004-12-26

I have lost 2 of these drives in 2 years. First one died in Last December after ~ 9 months of use (video & still image storage). WD repalced with another one and Lost it today (12/25/2004 - merry f* christmas WD). At lest I have all my digital images copied on my wifes system.

Don't buy it! You will be sorry.

Western Digital 200 GB External Hard Drive.......2004-08-01

This refused to install on my new Dell.
Technical support helpful. They told me to return it!
After 6 months of fighting the reseller, I finally got my money back.

Similar experience with Maxtor 250 GB!

What's one to do:
Try a Lacie or Seagate Drive?
Even my local computer dealer tried to sell me some junk.

All the Back-up software is poor.

I am now manually backing up to DVD.
That's all there is, unless you have a backup server handy.

Mine is fine so far.......2004-06-18

I bought mine in December 2002 and use it once or twice a week, mostly for backups. I'm concerned reading the negative reviews above, but I've had no problems so far (as of June 2004). I am, however, thinking of buying another drive to serve as a backup for the backup. My take is that any one of these kinds of drives can fail, and when they do people get very upset and post their (valid) complaints, but that people who have no problems remain silent.
