5 out of 5 stars   WD makes fantastic drives
By Arylaina on June 03, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: High Capacity, Easy To Set Up, Easy to use, Fast, Quiet
Cons: Heavy bulky
Other Comments: This is the 2nd WD My Book Studio hard drive I've purchased. They are very reliable. I never have any problems storing or accessing files, and I don't have to format it to work with my Mac. As a video editor, I work with enormous HD files that I sometimes need to keep around for months, and this is the best way to keep things uncluttered. And when I fill up this one (total of 4TB now), I will buy more!

By Stratospheric on April 16, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: Attractive Design, Monitoring App for Mac, Price, Quiet, High Capacity, Easy to use, Easy To Set Up, Raid 1
Cons: Flimsy case
Other Comments: I've partitioned this drive to use as a filesharing drive, an OS9 backup drive, a Timemachine drive, as well as an NTSF drive Now I don't have all these seperate drives humming about, AND I have the security of knowing raid one is mirroring my data, Sweet.

4 out of 5 stars   Excellent data storage & streaming solut
By D9 on March 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: Easy to use, Quiet, Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up, Incredibly quiet, High Capacity
Cons: Rigid RAID settings
Other Comments: I use this setup as my primary video/audio library for iTunes. It is incredibly quiet, and rarely makes itself known except for the "Cyclops" moving light indicator. I chose this also because of the FireWire interface which has proven to be more than capable for streaming movies; but more reliable than USB 2. No complaints other than to say I'd like to see more options in the RAID settings, but that's minor. Of course, I've only had the unit for 3 months. So only time will tell on the reliability. But for now, I highly recommend it for big storage needs and/or streaming data.

1 out of 5 stars   Western Digital Products - 50-50 chance
By Care & Computers by Clause on January 13, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: Quiet, Compact, Attractive Design, High Capacity
Cons: Slow, Unreliable, Difficult To Use
Other Comments: Why sell/send a drive formatted for Apple with 4% of the market share? Why sell/send a drive that cannot be reformatted for PC with WD's Device Manager? Why sell/send a CD-ROm utilities that is inaccessible? Why sell/send a drive that requires one of the hard drives to be removed to "break the Mac RAID"? Why sell/send a drive whose drives are so tight in the case that the finger-pull strap breaks trying to get a drive out to bread the RAID? Why sell/send a drive that inexplicably stops allowing data to be written to it?

4 out of 5 stars   Great, but has some flaws...
By Carlos on November 01, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up, High Capacity, Easy to use, Quiet
Cons: Unreliable
Other Comments: I bought this as a replacement for my maxed out hard drive that I stored photos, videos, and my Time Machine Backups (which are HUGE files). After about two weeks of solid and FAST use, I decided to move it's location. I followed the shutdown instructions as stated, but when I went to plug it back in, it did not want to fire up. I tried the power switch, changing the power supply, using a wall outlet with no response. It was only until I was capable of trying on a different computer that it started back up. Since then, it has worked flawlessly although I'm not really confident that it won't happen again. I would recommend this unit, but just be cautious with it as it can be finicky.

4 out of 5 stars   Cost Vs TB's - Easy Raid 1 Setup
By Edward on August 16, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: High Capacity, Attractive Design, Easy To Set Up
Cons: Flimsy case
Other Comments: When I unpacked the drive, I was surprised at how flimsy the case appeared. Let's hope I don't need the five year warranty. But, the unit was easy to set up as Raid 1, after a firmware install and WD software download. Lots of storage for the price. High quality cables that lock with a slight click.

By Boston Geek on June 24, 2010

Review submitted for Western Digital 2TB My Book Studio Edition II Hard Drive with Quad Interface { WDH2Q20000N } (WDH2Q20000N)
Pros: Quiet, High Capacity, Attractive Design
Cons: Difficult To Use, Difficult To Setup
Other Comments: NO where in the instructions did state that the drive needs to be formatted for windows. The box states its compatible with Windows 7. Out of frustation after spending hours trying to install the drive, I called WD to find out that the drive must be formatted for windows. Frustrating.
