Title: Very attractive price, but painfully slow transfer rates
Product review: Before Christmas I found this unit for just under a hundred dollars. I planned to use it to store backups for two of my laptops. Unhappily, the transfer rate was so slow (averaging about .50MB/sec - yes, that's "point five") that I found the MyBook not to be useful for this application. I tried the MyBook on several different machines and with more than one USB cable to rule the possibility that the drive was not really to blame. Unfortunately, my results were consistent. I recommend you avoid the MyBook if you plan to use it for high volume transfers.
