Looking for a place to store your music, photos, and videos? That is what I needed. I picked up the Western Digital My Book 250 GB Hard Drive and it prooved to be just what I needed. I’ve got a large share of digital photos so this will be a welcome to me.
Installation was simple. I simply had to unpack, hook up the power then connect it to my computers USB 2.0 port. That was it. The device doesn’t even come with a disk. Simply plug it in and you are good to go because all the included software loads automatically from the hard drive.
