Western Digital My Book Premium 500GB USB/FW 400 Ext Hard Drive
Mine works with powerstrip
I was scared when I read that this drive does not work with powerstrip. But I went ahead and opened the box anyway and plugged mybook into a powerstrip. It worked!! I also tried to plug it into UPS, and it worked on UPS too. Mine was bought from CC. <br /> <br />Another nice feature of this drive is that the drive spins down after a period of inactivity. I think it spin down after about 10 minutes. Ofcourse if powers off when you put your computer on standby, as advertised. The spin down feature was very important for me since I plan to use this drive on SimpleShare NAS (Network Attached Storage). The drive inside SimpleShare has capacity to spin down on it's own but SimpleShare cannot spin down USB drives attached to it. By the way, for the nossy ones: I plan to use MyBook with SimpleShare as RAID 1 (Mirrored) drive. No more manual backups for me. <br /> <br />Mind you everyone using external USB drives: If the drive does not spin down and keeps spinning all the time then you are going to see a dead drive in 1-2 years with all your precious data lost. <br /> <br />Other features are very well reviewd by fellow users.
