I have six of these, and I've ordered two more. I use them with a Popcorn Hour A-110 media player.
They're not the quickest USB drives in the whole World, but they're reliable, reasonably priced, they look nice, they're quiet, they run cool, and they're stackable - if, like me, you have a spiralling media habit, when you need to add another drive you can pile it on top of the others.
A testament to how good these things are - they're really, really hard to find. PC World, Currys and places like that get stock every two or three months, then they sell out in a couple of weeks. Even Amazon, with their enormous bargaining power, have to wait two months for stock... think about it!
 Great Capacity. Fantastic Price. Slow speeds! June 12, 2009

Blinded by the cheap price. I impulse purchased this product.
I felt a lot like the dude in the Burger King advert. The one where he dives through the shop window, leaps into his car & tells the misses "Go GO GO" LOL. because a price this good feels like your stealing. However..
I have several External Hdd's including a WD 320GB passport & a 500GB WD My Book so trust me the WD elements 1TB is the slowest of the lot.
Would I still purchase this product knowing about the slow data transfer..yes.
The data transfer rate maybe slower than the average bear but I haven't noticed any speed loss acessing the data on the drive.
I have Hi-Def Movies on mine that i acess using the PS3 without a single problem.
Pros
It's Solidly built.
Works out the box (FAT32) tested with Vista, XP, PS3 & OSX 10
It's cheap!
& It's quiet
Cons
Slow data transfer speeds
Power supply
Ugly power supply
Good value for money June 25, 2009

I bought this to backup all the family's files. Transfering lots of data onto it was slow, but that's a one off event. It won't take long to sync a few changed files if I remember to do it regularly.
It is solidly built and good value for 1TB of storage.
Please note: if you want to store any files larger than 4GB then to need to reformat it to NTFS (it comes formated as FAT32). This is simple to do in windows - just right click the drive and select format to find the format window. It takes a long time to do but you only have to do it once.
even i can use this June 21, 2009

Having decided I needed more memory on my laptop to save videos, I looked around and decided to order this product. It arrived really quickly and ... I was scared of it - it didnt have any instructions beyond a diagram on how to connect all the parts and it had a huge mind-blowing amount of memory. So it sat for 2 weeks and eventuall a pc literate colleague who couldn't understand my reluctance said it would be easy - so annoyed with myself - I connected it all up. It was really, really easy to use, I now have my I-tunes backed up, all my photos and the videos I have so far put on to the computer. I would recommend this product all you do is plug it in AND IT WORKS!!
Neat and quiet May 15, 2009

I use this as my main hard drive and use two 1TB Maxtor hard drives as backup. To be honest, there's not much to choose between the drives. Both makes power themselves on and off when required and have lightweight switched mode power supplies. The Western Digital drive is slightly smaller, is metal rather than plastic, and has the LED activity indicator at the rear. The Maxtor has a slightly longer USB cable, and has the activity LED is on the front. If I wanted another drive, I'd probably go for a Western Digital, but there isn't much in it.
