Strengths: looks and upgradeable , triple interface
Weakness: None
Western Digital makes the best looking desktop hardrives. The mybook series has great looks and also the performance is good. This drive has a triple interface so that you can use it with usb or the firewire interfaces. One of the best features is that you can upgrade the drive with new hard drives in future. It has good cache on it so you would never feel that it is slow when transferring huge...
Strengths: - Triple interface - Extremely fast on FW800 - You can open it and upgrade HD if you want/need to - Come with backup software - Very compact shape
Weakness: - None so far
I have been using this drive for some video editing. I configured it in RAID 0 for fastest performance. I am planning to buy another one and set it up as RAID 1 for backup. Unlike other 2 drives enclosure I had before, I can service this drive myself without having to send it somewhere. I highly recommend this product.
Strengths: I was Great for about 6 months
Weakness: Had 2 of these die within 2 months of each other
I work for a Defense Contractor and my company purchased over 100 of these, 1 for each of us at various locations. My co-worker and I really enjoyed the utility of our My Books for about 6 months then my co-workers stopped being recognized by his computer or any computer we tried, we spent a whole workday trying. By this time the drive was already out of warranty. About 1 1/2 months later mind...
Strengths: Triple interface, reliable so far
Weakness: Can get warm when on for long periods of time
I like that this drive is user serviceable. Makes sense on RAID drive. It can run a bit warm but they all do. The light showing the space used is a nice idea, but really not that useful.

MyBook Rocks!
Strengths: Speed, Reliability, Small Footprint
Weakness: Not very attractive, runs a bit warm
I never seem to have enough storage space for all of my video and audio files. MyBook 1 TB gives me a chance to catch up on backing up and still have room left over! I have never had any problems with the MyBook hardware, as this is my 4th or 5th device. The device runs a bit warm but nothing alarming. I trust my back-ups to MyBook!
