    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 the 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.
