Western Digital My Book Premium 500GB USB/FW 400 Ext Hard Drive
A great and simple to use external
I had this 500GB MyBook up and running about 60 seconds out of the box. Took me longer to push the plug into my UPS than the computer took to mount it as a drive! <br /> <br />For compatibility reasons the drives all come formatted in FAT32. To use for video editing, which is why I bought it, I had to re-format it to NTSF. the reformat that took only a minute or two and I was off and running. <br /> <br />Great drive, brainlessly simple to install and use.  <br /> <br />Sorry I can't comment on the backup software but I only use this for Video and photo and I have an NAS for all backup.
