Western Digital Essential 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive

Western Digital Essential 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive WDH1U10000N is a great solution to your problem of running out of hard drive capacity. It occupies a space of not more than a paperback book; 2 or more of such external hard drives can be nested neatly together like volumes on a shelf. You can easily setup and use My Book Essential 2.0. Installation of this external drive is a matter of seconds as practically you need not install it, you have to simply plug in and it is ready to use; and it turns on and off automatically with your computer.

If you wish instant storage of your important files or a digital photo collection, WD Essential version 2.0 is an ideal option. This USB 2.0 connection is compatible with multiple computers and the drive is also compatible with PC and Mac. Essential Edition 2.0 can be used with both the PCs running Windows 2000/XP/Vista and the Macs running OSX 10.4.8 or higher. WD Essential version 2.0 is available with one year limited warranty. Western Digital Essential 1 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive can hold up to 285,000 digital photos, up to 76 hours of digital video, up to 250,000 songs, up to 25,000 uncompressed CD quality songs, 120 hours of HD video and up to 440 hours of DVD quality video. WD Essential version 2.0 comes with USB cable, AC adapter and quick install guide.

WD Essential version 2.0 is slightly reduced in thickness compared to its predecessors. As against the power switch on older version 1.0 drive, version 2.0 uses a blue-lighted vertical drive activity indicator that alternates on and off when the drive is being accessed. If the computer remains inactive for 10 minutes, the drive is configured to power down. This is simply great portable external hard drive. This WD Essential version 2.0 is pre-formatted using FAT system that assures the drive to function on multiple platforms. However, most of the Windows and XP users would require reformatting the driver to NTFS file system that can be easily reformatted within at least an hour.

WD Essential version 2.0 features with very shiny, smooth surfaced external case design. Although it gives a very attractive look, but it is likely to show fingerprints and scratches, so great care has to be taken to handle it. Like the earlier version, Essential Edition 2.0 drive also seems to get equally warm to touch (although not uncomfortably hot); but this is the only one most concerning factor about this drive as it is very critical to the longevity of any hard drive.
