Title: Worthless POS
Product review: I used this drive on 3 machines with WinXP SP2. It worked great the first few weeks. Then it started producing "Delayed Write" errors and corrupting files. Good thing I had a backup. I had sensitive data on this drive and tried to wipe it (with the intention of asking for a warranty replacement). But it would not work on any of my modern machines. I tried it on my old laptop with USB 1.1 ports and it would successfully mount. Then I tried to wipe it (using WD's utility and Truecrypt). But it would only get half way through (24 hours!) before exiting with a "sector not found" error. I tried a few times then gave up, took it apart and smashed the platters with a hammer. Western Digital, you've lost a customer for life!
