The set in the picture is a virtual box drive, not this drive, under the folder "2nd copy". Why are you hiding that with the wordpad doc?

Not sure what your question is but to let you know I bought five of them before Christmas and none of them worked. I was very disappointed because I had 100 GB to install on them pictures and histories but would not respond. I even had a computer tech check them out but sure enough not worth spending a dime on them.

Look man, people really need to not buy this item! Or any of 'em of the same type of make. They are BS. If you try one, you could damage your computer. I lost 20GB of files trying to use one of these(and I'm pretty savvy). I complained to Amazon to take all of these down from their site. People....Just do not waste your time on this!! Too good to be true seriously applies here!!

I'm not the seller...I got took too. I don't know why the seller is hiding part of the drive properties.

I ordered one and later fond out it didn't exist. Maybe it is 256gb and not 256 gB(?)

Not sure I understand the question? I have these two and they are working very well as USP drives ( 250 gig ).

I bought mine in December and had not tried it until I saw this post. I regret to tell you that I could find no fault with this device. I immediately performed a scan on the device just to be sure there was not something hidden and found no viruses or script files. The capacity is as stated in the description minus the formatting. The only issue that I have is that it tends to take up more space and becomes difficult to insert in a slot with other devices plugged in. Please note that it states that it is a USB 2.0 device so it may not work in a USB 1.0 slot. Not sure why your computer tech could not make it work. Good luck in getting it to work.

Look closely at the rubber pad; you see that Transcend cut in it two smaller stickers. If you start to bend this pad you will notice the two stickers. These will go in the bottom of the external drive enclosure, hiding the screws.

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

I'm not an IT person but it sounds like something maybe wrong with the drive. I have an HP with Windows 8 and I have been able to view whatever is on the CD I've put in.

Hi There. I am afraid I do not have the drive with me as I installed in to a server. Sorry. :(

I got 500mb today and it's one with less dots. In the case it says 'Ultra-Portable Drive' instead of just 'Portable Drive'.

If you are looking for the "B" revision drive, that revision is long gone. The current revision is WU if not mistaken.

There isnt a disc drive on this computer. Odd, I know. But i think the more techy things are getting, things like that are phasing out on laptops.

What operating system are you running? Run diskmgmt.msc and check if the disk shows up there. If it doesn't show up there, you most likely have a faulty one. I'd try another computer and see if it detects it, if t doesn't, try and return it to Amazon for a replacement or refund. If it's too late for that, see if you can have it RMAed

Mine came with the backup software already on the drive. It is part of the setup.

No, you would never expect to have anything pre-installed on a bare drive like this. Formatted maybe, but usually not. Completely empty.

Perhaps it is somewhere in the documentation that came with the PC in the box? Try looking there.

It is a network storage device. Windows should be able to see it over the network, and you should be able to map a drive to it.

Isn't that ugly?I found that on R disks (not RW) I could set it to record until it stopped, then delete the resulting title. Check on the menu if the empty title is gone (I have had to do the record and delete twice a couple times) Then you can finalize the disk and there will be NO "empty title" !!

That is not the original box. I had purchased a new Hard drive similar to this one, and figured I could send back the old one in that box since it still had all of the wrapping. Sorry for the confusion. But, I no longer have the original box to confirm the date of manufacture.

Thank you. It's weird, I can find it under devices and hardware, but not under my computer... I guess it's defective

I'm honestly not sure, as I immediately formatted the drive when I got it. Sorry!
