Installation is a breeze because you don't really "install" anything -- just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is not even an installation CD because all the included software loads automatically from the hard drive the first time you plug it in. For cream-of-the-crop, high-speed performance, use My Book Premium's FireWire 400 interface. However, if FireWire 400 isn't convenient, Western Digital has you covered -- the My Book Premium hard drive is also compatible with USB 2.0 connectivity. Best of all, you don't have to choose between one or the other because both interfaces are built into every drive.
Western Digital provides software (WD Backup) that makes backing up your data as easy as possible. With a few simple steps you can back up all your data files, or just save your picture and music files. You can also schedule routine backups so you don't have to worry about it ever again. Built for ease of use, this drive is equipped with a capacity gauge that shows how much space is left on your drive. The My Book Premium also includes intelligent drive management features. For example, the drive turns itself on and off with your computer, and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written.
But that's not all. Western Digital uses a smart design to make the My Book Premium look as good as it performs. The elegant case resembles a book and takes up very little space on your desk. Plus, it stacks horizontally and allows two or more drives to nestle neatly together like encyclopedias on a shelf. Inside the stylish exterior is an exceptionally fast, ultra-quiet, cool-running hard drive. Last but not least, the My Book Premium is equipped with free Google software that searches your drives, manages your photos, and simplifies Web searches.
My Book Premium Edition Hard Drives are ideal for:
- High-speed backup of important documents and images
- Extra storage for your computer
- Automatic backups of your existing hard drive
- Archiving the music stored on your MP3 player
- Adding plenty of space for digital video capture and editing
- Saving and organizing your digital photo collection
Note: For basic, less expensive storage option without automatic backup software, consider the My Book Essential Edition 400 GB Hard Drive.

Customer Reviews:
Buyer beware.......2007-10-24
donpaolino's experience parallels mine exactly if you collapse the time frame: I'm on my fourth replacement drive within six months. Technical support is not so good--their only solution was to keep sending me replacement drives. An unreliable device, a depressing experience. Don't buy this drive.
Do Not Buy for Use With a Mac.......2007-01-22
I will be returning this product. It will not work as a boot drive for a Mac or under Unix. It took several unanswered emails to Western Digital's "customer service" and finally an excruciatingly long hold time to actually get a Western Digital technical support person via telephone support to learn that Western Digital, company-wide, does not support this use for their external hard drives. There is no indication of this shortfall anywhere on Western Digital's website (including tech support knowledgebase articles) or Amazon's site. Mac users be forewarned: This manufacturer could care less about you.
Don't buy any Western Digital drive.......2006-05-28
I just sent the following to the Western Digital web site contact:
I just purchased and then returned the fourth Western Digital disk drive in the last 2 and 1/2 years. I don't know why I keep attempting to purchase your products other than the fact that I keep hoping a company which I use to respect will stop continuing to produce malfunctioning disk drives which are difficult to set up and don't work properly once you do. This is disgraceful since I have purchased LaCie, Acomdata, Seagate, BusLInk, as well as other drives over the same period of time and have no problem having my system recognize them and using them. A true "plug and play" scenario. This has never been the case with Western Digital drives.
In this particular case I purchased a 400GB MyBook premium with both USB and Firewire capablilites. In any other situation I would expect to plug my drive into my Firewire port and have the drive be recognized and made immediately available for use. To my dismay, your installation procedure says I need to set up with the USB port and then the Firewire drivers would be made available to the system. By the way, if you don't have a USB port available on the system the start up guide instructs you to go to the WDC web site to download the Firewire drivers. (Wouldn't it have been convenient to include a 5 cent CD in the package which included the drivers, since when you go on your web site there are no clearly discernibe links to Firewire drivers.) It then instructs you to turn the drive off, hook up the Firewire ports and the drive would work properly. It did not! And WHAT BRILLIANT ENGINEER EVER FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD WAY TO INSTALL A DRIVE (so much for the concept of "Plug and Play".) Once the drive was installed as a Firewire drive the unit would not stay recognized in the disk pool array. In the middle of a backup it cancelled saying the drive was no longer available! It was then I decided I did not want to trust this inferior engineering to my important system backups. I returned the drive, bought a Seagate and it is working perfectly. I plugged it in to my Firewire ports, started it up, it was recognized with no problems and has performed my system backup flawlessly.
I have learned my lesson about purchasing Western Digital drives. I won't do it again. I think it is shameful you put out products like this and wonder if you need to take a closer at your competition to see HOW TO DO IT RIGHT. It is certainly a disgrace for your company to produce the, dare I say, JUNK which you produce.
A lost customer forvever.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Nikon 6928 Fieldscope III 60 millimeter Straight ED is a durable, waterproof, and fogproof all-metal scope. The scope's tube is O-ring sealed and put through an advanced vacuum process that removes virtually all air and water molecules. This process ensures that the Nikon 6928 will perform under the most stringent of field conditions without suffering any effects of fogging or condensation. The high-grade optics feature multi-coating technology, giving you super clarity and high resolution, and the sliding sunshade ensures you'll get a clear view, even in the brightest situations.
The Nikon 6928 features a 20x magnification and a large, 60 millimeter objective lens diameter, giving the scope an exit pupil size of three millimeters. A 20x magnification makes an image appear twenty times larger than with the eye alone. In other words, objects at 100 yards appear to be only five yards away through a 20x scope. Given the exit pupil size, this spotting scope works best in full light, but make sure you get an eyepiece because the 6928 is a body only model.
About Exit Pupil Size The size of the exit pupil for a spotting scope is determined by dividing the objective lens diameter by the magnification rating. The human eye pupil diameter ranges from 2-7 millimeters, depending on the amount of light. For proper light gathering potential, the diameter of the scope's exit pupil must be equal to or greater than the diameter of your eye pupil at the light level you will be using the scope. If you're working in low light, your exit pupil size will be of greater importance. With a three millimeter exit pupil, the Nikon 6928 Fieldscope III 60mm Straight ED is an excellent choice for spotting at long distance and in full light.
