1 Star Get rid of the Software
The onboard software is on a partition that cannot be deleted. You are stuck with this missing chunk of space as well as the crappy software. A 1.5 TB drive is really a 1.4TB drive. I keep having to unplug and replug the drive to get it to mount in Finder (Mac). Junk!!! Western Digital was trying to be too fancy for their own good. I would sooner spend the same amount of money for a quality Firewire 800 enclosure and a 1.5 drive so you can have the entire drives space for your files and be able to upgrade the drive when you outgrow it.

1 Star Worthless piece of junk
No Brian my concerns are not unfounded. Every time time machine starts to backup he comes the sound of the WD drive starting up. I know that I have to completely stop everything, I mean everything, I am doing and walk away from my computer. I even have to stop iTunes from playing. If not then its like I am using a PC all over again. Here comes the pinwheel of death. And most of the time trying to close down iTunes doesn’t even work. Once the process has started my mac is rendered helpless. Even worse that the hourglass on a PC. I literally cannot do any work while my computer is being backed up. NOTHING!!!!! If iTunes is playing in the background it will occasionally stop and eventually slow the whole process down, or crash. These sorry SOB companies want to try and fill there products will so much crap that your computer’s memory and cpu are gobbled up. This software isn’t intuitive and doesn’t play nice. Now I am stuck with this worthless hard drive. I guess I will just start shelling out $$$ for all Apple stuff. At least I know eventually they will get an update out that will allow everything to work in perfect harmony.

1 Star Unreliable – serious problems after just 3 months
I bought this drive because I am a photographer and needed a large capacity drive to store my photos, and I wanted a firewire 800 drive for the transfer speed. I am working with a macbook pro that I have had for 6 months. When I first bought the drive it worked fine. I won’t go into the smartware software there have been enough other people giving their opinion of that. No long after I started using the drive, I would sometimes get a message saying that the drive I inserted was unreadable by the computer and gave the options to initialize, eject or ignore. If I would click ignore, the drive would then still work fine, without any problems. Yesterday, I got that same message again, but this time after I hit ignore, the drive didn’t show up on my desktop. I unplugged it and tried again, and then this time hit initialize, where I was brought to the disk utility screen. I “repaired” the disk, and was able to access it again, but continued to have some problems with it, and had to repair it again. This morning, the drive seemed to connect without a problem, but when I tried to transfer photos from my memory cards onto the drive, it would give me an error. I could transfer the photos from the memory cards onto another drive, but not onto this one. I am in the process of trying to repair the drive yet again, but I would definitely advise people to avoid this drive. Fortunately, I have most of my work backed up onto other drives, but even if I get this drive working again, I don’t think I could trust that it will continue to work.

1 Star Shame on you WD
I will add my voice to the growing dissatisfaction with the unnecessary software that is forced on you by Western Digital. I mean, come on WD, this item is specifically made for Mac. Who would want to use your crappy software when Time Machine is included standard with every Mac. Yes, I read about the virtual CD and the inability to delete it before I bought this product, but it is no less annoying because I knew about it in advance. Eject it and it comes right back.

Amazon continues to publish wrong information in the description of this product…

“New Updates for WD SmartWare Software (11/16/09): This update implements customer feedback requests to: hide the Virtual CD (VCD), enhance the ability to opt-out of WD SmartWare completely, and exit WD SmartWare from the Windows system tray. Visit Western Digital Support to download your update by inputting the model number of your hard drive.”

The update to disable the virtual drive on WD website specifically states “This update is not intended for My Book Studio or My Passport Studio drive”.

3 Stars It looks great but scratches easily and made kind of cheap
I was so excited to own this unit until I found out how easily this item get scratches and the white vented area around the hard drive will warp do to heat. I just returned mines and got a Lacie since it’s metal and stays cool.

Buy this WD at your own risk if your a DJ and use your Hard drive to play music out doors during the summer.

Other than that, it LOOKS great though the program thAT comes with it is a B**ch. Takes up HD space.
