My Book Essential 2 TB USB Hard Drive w/ Backup & Password Protection
(WDBAAF0020HBK)
Pros: Fast, Easy To Install, Highly Compatible, Reliable, Quiet
Cons: Dumb software - reformat
Other Comments: Seriously, WD's software is so dumb, I can't even believe they sell it. I just reformatted the drive so that I didn't have to deal with a virtual CD drive it installed on my computer. And sometimes the external drive was see and other times it was not. Dumb dumb software.
Yes, I recommend this product

(WDBAAF0020HBK)
Pros: Quiet, Easy To Install
Cons:
Other Comments: It is being used to store Ghost images of about 50 computers.
I only wish the power plug was a little smaller. It doesn't fit my power strip as good and I lose useful outlets.

My Book Essential 2 TB USB Hard Drive w/ Backup & Password Protection
(WDBAAF0020HBK)
Pros: Reliable, Quiet, Easy To Install, Highly Compatible
Cons:
Other Comments: It works as expected. I use it as a storage to backup the data. It has been on for two weeks. So far there is no problem. It is quiet. The initial click takes some time. After that, the speed is fast enough.
Yes, I recommend this product

Most hated hard drive in history.

My Book Essential 2 TB USB Hard Drive w/ Backup & Password Protection
(WDBAAF0020HBK)
Pros:
Cons: Unreliable, Difficult To Install
Other Comments: Be very very very very very very careful of this drive! I used to be a loyal WD customer until this generation of drives started including their idiotic backup software by default which uses a second drive letter and sits in memory. this is NOT removable and NOT avoidable and possibly the stupidest design decision ever. Don't believe me? There's a reason why the majority of people on [@] give this drive a one star out of five rating. it is worthless.
