Western Digital External Drive Review

[Zcrusher]

I know this isn't R/C, but I think it is a great upgrade- for anyone with a laptop!

This is a review on the WD "Little Black Book" 160GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive Essential Edition.

Price: About $130 www.bestbuy.com (http://www.bestbuy.com)

I got this very fast from Best Buy, and I reccomend buying from them. At only 130 dollars, its about $1 GB... Amazing!

I recieved the unit:

Upon opening the box, here is what you will find:

This shows what you will need to get started:

First, plug the short stubby USB cord into the unit:

Then, plug the adapter into the power supply:

Then, the other end of the adapter into the unit, as shown. Apologies on blurriness:

Finally, mount it on your desk! (Shown in red is the power button. VERY SENSETIVE! Be very careful as you can accidentally shut it off. I mounted it behind my computer on my desk, so it wont be touched)

You literally plug this unit into the USB drive. It installs everything for you! It's that easy. To place files into it, simply drag them into its icon in "My Computer".

Reccomended: I use this as my actual hard drive! I simply set things like Itunes to send the music to it, so my Thinkpads drive remains free of clutter.

Easy to set up, easy to use!

Thanks for reading,
