I am a PC user, but picked up this MAC version as it was on sale (cheaper than the eSATA 1TB version for PC). I primarily wanted both eSATA & USB connections, but thought that Firewire might come in handy at some point. I went to the WDC web-site, and it had instuctions on how do use this with a PC. You basically have to use your computer's Disk Management utility to format the drive, as it's...
Strengths: slim size, runs cool, multiple interfaces
Weakness: like the previous person said, this thing sometimes disappears from device manager, but I've noticed this in most western digital external harddrives that I've owned in the past 3 years firewire/usb
This thing does what it's supposed to with different interfaces. It runs cooler than my hitachi external 1tb and is decent size. Comparing w/ the previous model line where the light was a circle, the power button is now on the backside. I've noticed though the more external harddrives you have plugged in, the slower it takes windows to boot up since it has to power up every one of them. I...

freezes, no support
Strengths: Big, quiet, quad interface
Weakness: Not supported under Mac OS 10.5, weak support
I bought this drive to be my Time Machine backup drive. I needed a big drive that would spin down when not in use to save power. I use it with the FW800 interface. The SW which comes with the drive crashes immediately under Mac OS 10.5 and 10.5.1. Without the "Button Manager" software, the drive does not reliably sleep or wake. Sometimes my computers is a alseep and the drive is spinning anyway...
