1.0 out of 5 stars dead after 30 days, November 10, 2011

This review is from: Western Digital My Book Studio 2 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I set it up and it was great, never touched it, moved it, fiddled with it.
Today it vanished from the Mac, the light is off, the power in it is dead.
Western Digital is very nice on the phone, they will replace it, but they wont't extract the contents, so everything I stored on it will be lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great with Mac, Looks Beautiful, Silent, August 1, 2011

This review is from: Western Digital My Book Studio 2 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is a gorgeous external drive that is perfect for using with Pro Tools 8 / Digi 002. Firewire may be a less common requirement among most business users, but for music recording applications, firewire is still a must have feature. The drive is very fast, very quiet, and it doesn't take up much space. It also comes with the first set of really useful Mac software utilities I've ever gotten with an external drive (and I have bought them all - Seagate, Buffalo, Iomega, Lacie - you name it, I've owned one and, likely, ridden it into the ground). There's a back up utility that works quite well with time machine (I am working with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). The instructions are clear, and the manual is full of such useful info as where to find the utilities software if you have to reformat your drive.

I haven't opened the enclosure (there's a big sticker on the bottom that warns that removing it will void the warranty). However, the outside is quite elegant, ventilated,... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, October 5, 2011
By 
Greg (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Western Digital My Book Studio 2 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I plugged it in and it did what it's supposed to do. Isn't that what an external drive is for? ...Easy! Overall it's very quiet. Since it's on the desk and close to me, I can hear it slightly whenever it spins up. I'm no tech whiz, so as long as it works by me plugging it in and does what it's supposed to, I'm happy.

I have not tried the WD software. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I've only had it a short time.
