    Watch out for USB power supply failures

    By Tommy  Jul 10, 2007

    Pros: Fast, large capacity, ease of use

    Cons: Lousy power supply, disk fails, data loss, time lost in rebuilding the disks

    I have bought two of these drives and both USB power supplies have failed. I got them both replaced but at a price of lost time for data recovery and rebuilding of the disks, since I had to send back the entire units. The capacity is great but t...he reliability is terrible. I have two of these now but if they persist in failures, I will rip out the 500 gb drives and buy quality outboard USB enclosures and use them. The price is good, but the reliability is not there. I like having the drives on my desk but failures outweigh any advantages. WD needs to work on those power supplies and beef them up for drives that are heavily used. Read more Less
