Died within 5 yrs. Second WD drive to do so. 4th WD drive from my work xp. WD have a 5 yr lifespan. That's 5 yrs of use. that's a planned 5 yr at max use. Though I've had 8 iPods with the same 5 yr lifespan. I suspect conspiracy. WD and Apple products have a 5 yr lifespan... of use. And I base that on over 8 computers and 6 ipods. I <3 Apple, but I think they are seeding destruction.
a real pain replacing drives May 1, 2010

The idea here is fine, and it worked perfectly well in a RAID setup but when one drive died, it was a real pain replacing it. WD screws plastic runners to the sides of two otherwise bare drives and wants you to buy a complete drive+runners setup for replacing, rather than just the drive. Meanwhile, the runners break when you try to remove the setup from the case, jamming the broken drives in place. It's not robust enough.
 Do Not Buy This If Your Data is IMPORTANT! August 27, 2009

Our company purchased 12 of these units and over half of them have crashed already, or have lost one of the two drives, or have lost a power supply. These units are crap! We have lost much data! Do not use this if you are planning on keeping data "Safe". Fine for quick transfers on non-critical data. Use at your own risk! The units worked fine for about three months.

I've been using numerous Western Digital drives for the past 2 years and in fact I have 2 of these 1TB drives that I've been using for video editing on a Mac.
My main gripes are:
The drive seems to spin down in like 30 seconds after not being accessed. Normally this would not be (as much) of a problem for other types of use, but it's absolutely unacceptable for video editing.
The cooling fans are super-loud and seem to blow super-hard at odd times (not necessarily when they're working hard).
I have to do all kinds of workarounds to get the drive to mount.
I cannot chain more than 2 of these drives together and WD tells me I might have an issue with my computer motherboard which is BS.
I'm not buying these drives anymore.

Purchased 2 WD my book pro ediition 2's about a year ago for size and warranty. I am a professional photographer and need lots of storage for images and had used smaller Western Digital hard drives in the past and worked fine. Within the first few months of using one of the 1TB WD my book pro edition 2 hard drives, it no longer would be recognized on any of my computers (I use Mac). Thank goodness I had everything on that drive backed up (always back up your stuff)!
Got ahold of WD and sent the hard drive in. Couple weeks later the hard drive was sent back. In that time I opened up the other WD my book pro edition 2 I had and attempted to use it. It recognizes, but rather than a full terabyte, it only recognizes one of the drives at about 460gb. I have not yet checked to see if the first hard drive they sent back to me is fixed.
Dealing with WD in an attempt to get this fixed and hopefully get 2 different models of their 1TB hard drives as I can no longer trust the WD 1TB my book pro edition II from my multiple bad experiences and from what I have read from others reviews all over the web and in computer forums.
My recommendation... DO NOT BUY! Wish I could rate this product less than 1 star. Spend your money on a different hard drive and possibly a different hard drive maker.
