Great Hard Drive
This My Book 2 Home Edition is a great hard drive with good quality at a nice price. I connect it to my Imac G5 using firewire and the transfer and streaming speeds are fine. It runs really quiet and if you leave it on all the time then it will spin down after being idle for a while as well as turning on and off with your computer. The light on the front is only really annoying in the evening as its in my bedroom but you just have to push the power on the back for it to completely turn off. Very happy with this product!

Good drive but no eSATA
While this drive is now fitted perfectly next to my base station and the large capacity of the drive suits me well for storing photos, music samples and data, the eSATA capabilities of this drive worked once and then no longer. While firewire is fast enough for my needs if you really don't need the faster transfer speeds (for example for video) then I would suggest you should save your money on both the cheaper drive and not having to buy an extra SATA cable and go for the drive without eSATA.

Dodgy eSATA connection
Tried two different drives, delivered a week apart. Both worked fine with USB but the first one would not connect at all via eSATA and the second one would only do so if the plug was forced very hard into the socket.

Looks like they were part of a bad batch. Be prepared.

After wasting so much time, have ordered a Seagate drive instead.
