Is your computer loaded with photos, music, video, and all sorts of important files? If so, you should make extra room, back them up, and keep them safe on Western Digital's WDG1C4000 My Book Premium Edition 400 GB Hard Drive. This reliable, easy-to-use external hard drive is the perfect storage solution for all your precious digital assets.

Save and back up all your digital assets with the My Book Premium Edition Hard Drive. View larger.

Simple, easy-to-use design.

Hard drive features dual interface connectivity (FireWire 400 and USB 2.0). View larger.

The elegant case takes up very little space.

Installation is a breeze because you don't really "install" anything -- just plug it in and it's ready to use. There is not even an installation CD because all the included software loads automatically from the hard drive the first time you plug it in. For cream-of-the-crop, high-speed performance, use My Book Premium's FireWire 400 interface. However, if FireWire 400 isn't convenient, Western Digital has you covered -- the My Book Premium hard drive is also compatible with USB 2.0 connectivity. Best of all, you don't have to choose between one or the other because both interfaces are built into every drive.

Western Digital provides software (WD Backup) that makes backing up your data as easy as possible. With a few simple steps you can back up all your data files, or just save your picture and music files. You can also schedule routine backups so you don't have to worry about it ever again. Built for ease of use, this drive is equipped with a capacity gauge that shows how much space is left on your drive. The My Book Premium also includes intelligent drive management features. For example, the drive turns itself on and off with your computer, and Safe Shutdown prevents the drive from being powered down until all your data has been written.

But that's not all. Western Digital uses a smart design to make the My Book Premium look as good as it performs. The elegant case resembles a book and takes up very little space on your desk. Plus, it stacks horizontally and allows two or more drives to nestle neatly together like encyclopedias on a shelf. Inside the stylish exterior is an exceptionally fast, ultra-quiet, cool-running hard drive. Last but not least, the My Book Premium is equipped with free Google software that searches your drives, manages your photos, and simplifies Web searches.

My Book Premium Edition Hard Drives are ideal for:

High-speed backup of important documents and images
Extra storage for your computer
Automatic backups of your existing hard drive
Archiving the music stored on your MP3 player
Adding plenty of space for digital video capture and editing
Saving and organizing your digital photo collection

Note: For basic, less expensive storage option without automatic backup software, consider the My Book Essential Edition 400 GB Hard Drive.

What's in the Box
My Book Premium 400 GB USB 2.0/FireWire external hard drive, USB cable, FireWire cable (six-pin to six-pin), AC adapter with power cord, and quick install guide.

Do Not Buy for Use With a Mac.......2007-01-22

I will be returning this product. It will not work as a boot drive for a Mac or under Unix. It took several unanswered emails to Western Digital's "customer service" and finally an excruciatingly long hold time to actually get a Western Digital technical support person via telephone support to learn that Western Digital, company-wide, does not support this use for their external hard drives. There is no indication of this shortfall anywhere on Western Digital's website (including tech support knowledgebase articles) or Amazon's site. Mac users be forewarned: This manufacturer could care less about you.

Don't buy any Western Digital drive.......2006-05-28

I just sent the following to the Western Digital web site contact:

I just purchased and then returned the fourth Western Digital disk drive in the last 2 and 1/2 years. I don't know why I keep attempting to purchase your products other than the fact that I keep hoping a company which I use to respect will stop continuing to produce malfunctioning disk drives which are difficult to set up and don't work properly once you do. This is disgraceful since I have purchased LaCie, Acomdata, Seagate, BusLInk, as well as other drives over the same period of time and have no problem having my system recognize them and using them. A true "plug and play" scenario. This has never been the case with Western Digital drives.

In this particular case I purchased a 400GB MyBook premium with both USB and Firewire capablilites. In any other situation I would expect to plug my drive into my Firewire port and have the drive be recognized and made immediately available for use. To my dismay, your installation procedure says I need to set up with the USB port and then the Firewire drivers would be made available to the system. By the way, if you don't have a USB port available on the system the start up guide instructs you to go to the WDC web site to download the Firewire drivers. (Wouldn't it have been convenient to include a 5 cent CD in the package which included the drivers, since when you go on your web site there are no clearly discernibe links to Firewire drivers.) It then instructs you to turn the drive off, hook up the Firewire ports and the drive would work properly. It did not! And WHAT BRILLIANT ENGINEER EVER FIGURED OUT THAT THIS WAS A GOOD WAY TO INSTALL A DRIVE (so much for the concept of "Plug and Play".) Once the drive was installed as a Firewire drive the unit would not stay recognized in the disk pool array. In the middle of a backup it cancelled saying the drive was no longer available! It was then I decided I did not want to trust this inferior engineering to my important system backups. I returned the drive, bought a Seagate and it is working perfectly. I plugged it in to my Firewire ports, started it up, it was recognized with no problems and has performed my system backup flawlessly.

I have learned my lesson about purchasing Western Digital drives. I won't do it again. I think it is shameful you put out products like this and wonder if you need to take a closer at your competition to see HOW TO DO IT RIGHT. It is certainly a disgrace for your company to produce the, dare I say, JUNK which you produce.

A lost customer forvever.

Product Description

The DVP-NS72HP single-disc DVD player offers 720p and 1080i upscaling through an HDMI connection (High Definition Multi Media Interface). HDMI allows the transfer of uncompressed digital audio and video signals to other HDMI equipped components, providing an uncompromised picture. It also features Precision Cinema Progressive technology, which delivers accurate and vivid images to the television. Unlike other DVD players that detect image changes at the Scan line level-Sony's Precision Cinema Progressive (PCP) system detects them at the Pixel level. This results in images closer to the original source data, because separate, optimized algorithms are used to handle the differing Pixel behavior. Precision Drive III mechanism is also included, which helps maximize the performance of DVD collections by reading data even on some physically "warped" discs. Other benefits include a 12bit/108MHz video DAC (digital to analog converter), and 24 bit/192KHz audio, providing high-quality video and audio processing for vivid images and crystal clear sound.

Product Description

Yukon's 6-100x100 LT Straight Eyepiece is a revolutionary spotting scope that delivers crystal-clear magnification from 6x to 100x, with no distortion or loss of image quality. Yukon's engineers have achieved this exclusive capability by using two multi-coated objective lenses, one with a 35mm aperture and the other with a 100mm aperture. Both lenses share a common ocular lens, which allows for a smooth transition as the viewer adjusts the scope to the desired magnification. For low magnification observation, the device utilizes the 35 mm lens. Linear zooming allows magnification adjustments between 6 and 25x. When more magnification is desired, the flip of a switch shifts the light path from one lens to the other. With the 100mm objective lens, zooming capabilities increase to 25-100x magnification. The enormous light gathering capability of the 100mm lens creates a bright and clear picture in nearly all viewing conditions, including twilight. In accordance to Yukon Advanced Optics' tradition, the Yukon 100x's design provides the user both power, quality and comfort. The scope's body is surprisingly lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport. The high-quality optics are guarded by a durable, composite body. For those that prefer direct eyesight, the Yukon 100x LT is equipped with a straight eyepiece instead of the 45-degree rotating eyepiece. This unit cannot utilize the photo and digital camera adapters. However, the LT model can accommodate both photographic and spotting scope tripods and can double as a telescope for late night stargazing.

Xerox 8R7999 Print Head Failure.......2001-10-18

I purchased a Xerox Docuprint C6 with my first computor in October 2000; 'just short' of one year later it does not print blue, the help desk have said replace the print head, unfortunately "not covered by warrantee".

Cost £22.00 approximately, original printer price £40.00 approximately.

Whilst I admit to limited experience in wear an tear -and computor consumables, why aren't things made to last?

Sorry Xerox - big thumbs down.
