This hard drive is extremely fast (around 60-70Mbs per second) when using the firewire cord. The software is also awesome. The software that comes with it has help topics for absolutely everything about it, so you will always know what to do.
Why is it essential? File sizes are always increasing, requiring even more disk space. Filling up your computer hard drive can cause problems; Photoshop may slow down and it can even decrease the performance of your processor.

I bought this to replace a 1Tb Iomega USB drive which was full. I copied all previous backups to the new WD Volume, repaired all permissions and it is performing superbly well. The increased speed of the FW800 transfers make for rapid backups of my Parallels virtual drives.
The My Book Studio Edition is a welcome addition to the My Book family, and should find a home on many Mac and PC users' desks.

Install would be easier if the instructions stated that there was no need to use the enclosed CD.
The MyBook Studio doesn't have a display showing free space, either, and we're disappointed WD hasn't catered for the latest generation of laptops with Thunderbolt or USB 3.0 ports. Equally disappointing is the lack of a dedicated on/off switch.
