I know we have some computer guys on here, so who all is using these Western Digital Mybooks and My passports?
I got a 1TB Mybook world edition about a year ago and it's been nothing but problems for me. Just reformatted my PC here recently and now realized I can't access anything on that HDD now... It used some retarded Mionet software for accessing crap and I hated it but had to use it. If I knew then what I know now I never would have put anything on it till I played with it some more...
Well I was out of space everywhere so a few weeks ago I bought another Mybook 500gig regular HDD. Thought, ok I'll format it over to NTFS and use it as I would any other HDD. Nope. Transferred some stuff onto it to test it after formatting it and then disconnected it and hooked it back up and couldn't pull the files. Said they were corrupt or damaged. I got pissed, formatted it again and took it back to Circuit city. Of course they are about to go out of business so I head over to Best Buy tonight to try a My Passport. I know several people who have used them with no troubles. I try to transfer some stuff after formatting it to NTFS and it just hangs in space and everything locks up. Reboot and try it again, same results...
I'm about sick of this. In my book (no pun intended) this is strike 3 for Western Digital and their My series... Anybody else use them and have trouble? Solutions? Tips?
I'm in dire need of space here and don't know what other brand would be that reliable... Western Digital used to be awesome and I never had problems with their internal drives, but right now their externals are killin me...
