My Passport Studio 1 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive
(WDBK8A0010BBK)
Pros: Easy To Set Up, Quiet, Compact, High Capacity, Portable, Easy to use, Attractive Design
Cons:
Other Comments: This product has a beautiful, sleek design, and a nice heft to its build. It's a perfect companion to my MacBook Pro. I'm a musician, and I use it for backing up my entire hard drive, and all the songs I create in GarageBand. With this amount of memory, it should keep me busy for a long time. I also like the versatily of connecting via FireWire or USB. Having both options has come in handy.
Yes, I recommend this product

My Passport Studio 1 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive
(WDBK8A0010BBK)
Pros: Easy to use, Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up, Portable, Compact, Quiet, High Capacity
Cons:
Other Comments: I keep my iTunes on an outboard drive and I have so many that I wanted faster communication between the list that is on ITunes and the music files that stored on the drive. I connect my computer to my stereo with a HRT D/A converter and this gives me access to my whole library and fantastic sound quality.
Yes, I recommend this product

Pros: High Capacity, Portable, Attractive Design, Easy to use, Compact, Quiet, Easy To Set Up
Cons:
Other Comments: After having a recent scare of a hard drive failure I decided it was time to finally invest in a hard drive solely for backup. Well this hard drive was the perfect solution. Its small, light weight and has firewire 1394b connections for fast transfer.
A good investment and well worth the money.

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, High Capacity, Compact, Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up, Portable
Cons: No Power Switch
Other Comments: I had an internal disk in my computer of only 320 gb which was beginning to be too small. So through this product I found the best solution. Bought one with 1TB which I use to backup with TimeMachine as well as to store big files or old work files that are no longer in use, but need for reference in the future.

Big storage in a little package

My Passport Studio 1 TB FireWire 800 External Hard Drive
(WDBK8A0010BBK)
Pros: High Capacity, Portable, Compact, Quiet, Easy To Set Up, Easy to use
Cons: Constant flashing led
Other Comments: I use it as extra storage for AppleTV. Connected FireWire right out of the box to transfer files. No on/off switch means it's ready to go - no need to get off the couch, flip the switch or waiting for it to power up...
The led on the back flashes constantly which can be distracting in a dark room, but that's the only drawback I've found so far.
Yes, I recommend this product
