Yes, you can put it in an 3.5 inch SATA enclosure or just use an USB SATA adapter to connect to your computer.

The short answer is, "it depends." The dependent factors are how much data you are going to back up, whether or not you have a SATA connection for the drive and how many generations of backup you want to maintain. With so many backup alternatives available, and for the price, you might consider one of the larger-capacity Western Digital USB-attached backup drives instead. The only reason I bought this drive is because I needed to repair an old desktop PC. It was the lowest cost alternative available.

Short answer yes. Really depends on what and how you want to back something up. This is only 160 GB and it is internal. I would choose an external 1 TB for a back up. I use two of these WD drives in a server as a raid 1 mirror.

Any hard drive can be used as a back up. If you are using this for backing up your computer or additional storage, you might want a higher capacity drive.

It can be used as a back up hard drive. You would need a sata to usb adapter to transfer data.

Yes, I have. There is no problem doing this as these drives are generic. However, the company I bought it from sent me one which appeared new (with new packaging) but tested as having thousands of hours of use on it. The test said it was working just fine but it wasn't a new device. I did not pursue the matter further as I did not intend to put this computer into daily use and it was not worth the hassle.

Yes, the drives come with the standard 1 year warranty from Western Digital

All the drives I received are model WD20EARS-00MVWB0. So far they work great. I am running them in SansDigital TR8M(-B)P in JBOD configuration. So far zero problems, I will probably pickup 5 more to get a total of 16TB.

Write to Western Digital and give them all the information pertaining to the drive. Where you bought the drive, serial number of drive. I think you need to set up an account at Western Digital for a claim.

Sorry. I just used this device tu burn data disks (25GB data) for backups. Is a good unit. In my knowledge, when you burn a disk for yourself, is region free.

I don't know why someone would say that. I have found them to be the most reliable drives I have ever owned. In fact, I can honestly say that I have never had to replace a Western Digital RE drive because of a failure. We have replaced some that were small enough to be obsolete, but in my recollection have never replaced one for any other reason in 9 years of business. Of course, your mileage may vary. We do make sure to keep them cool.

It was but since then I've lost all my pictures that I took for over two years. I would highly recommend the western digital external hard drive. I've used them for over ten years and no problems at all. I just bought another one two days ago "the WD passport w. Auto cloud backup. It's about the same price plus they give you cloud back up. Can't. Beat this company that been around for 30 years.

Yes, a Western Digital 1 TB Black Caviar drive with Snow Leopard should be able to boot from this easily over Firewire, if it is formatted with a GUID Partition Table.

Im not sure. But i do not recommend this one. I put so much info on it and one day it just wouldnt work. It woukd spin but no lights or anything on the screen. Had to pay 50$ to get the files off if it. I say spend that extra 50 now and buy a WD passport. Works like a charm.

Price only! I mean for 1TB you will pay $80 or $90 US dollars, for 2T $150 or $160. For this model external HDD.

Nope. I purchased the diskless server as well. The one with disks just ship with WD Reds.

Depends more on the brand. I have a 3 TB Western digital my book essential. It seems to support it as it recognizes it over the network. Currently streaming via DLNA is problematic though but that is more of an issue with the firmware than the hard drive. I believe if you google the netgear webpage there is a listing of supported drives.

I suggest you contact Western Digital. I'm sure the'll put you through to their R&D; people to answer your question.

Yes it will. Mine has been working great. The drives are unit specific. Everything else (updates) come via the Internet which is not region specific. Mine works great!!

I have not tried yet, I am not sure about it. I have got in touch with the technicians at USpeed for their answer. I might buy a 4Tb myself if it works.
