I've had a couple and never a problem. They're very small which is nice and USB powered which is also a nice feature.
That's exactly the model that has been giving me fits. I cannot even reformat it at present as I am on the road near the end of 13 week stint. No place to off load the stuff on it. I hold my breath everytime I need to access it. I have some video with large files on it and worry about being able to get them transferred.

Still, in the tally of who likes what, this is just one vote against the WD. If a bunch more come in "pro" I would even consider trying another.
