Title: Unreliable
Product review: Bought the drive in 2008 as primary backup for music and data files prior to moving to new computer. Worked great out of the box initially, however 6 months later it started to behave erratically. Could not power down with button in front, could not un-mount from Windows. Finally determined that the drive overheats very quickly and becomes erratic with extended use. Works fine if you take the cover off and put a cooling blanket (ice pack in plastic bag) on top of actual drive. Just make sure there are no holes! Won't buy WD external again.
