Title: I loved it until it died...
Review: Yup.A great backup, until it started making nasty clicking sounds. The head can't read the platter. Got it as a backup and the backup has died.WD has a "sorry about that" attitude towards the failure. I've since discovered that these failures are very very common, they fail quite quickly, it can be the day you fire it up, or they can run splendidly, as mine did, and then just crash with no warning.WD is backing away from the original 24/7 use, or "have it on when your computer is on", and now says that My Book drives "should only be used on an intermittent basis". Meaning, turn it on, use it as a backup, then turn it off.This drive was on it's own shelf and I provided it with its own cooling fan. So heat was not an issue.So all I can say is "be careful out there." Keep this thing cool. And only have it on when you need it on. I'm now reading up on data recovery and trying to see what I can rescue off the drive.Best, Jim
