Slick Setup

Great drive. No fan, but it does not seem to need it. Doesn't ever get super hot that I have noticed, and I have used it a lot. I have two of these, I load them up with movies and hook them up to my xbox 360. Works like a charm, and it is formatted in FAT32 out of the box, just like the 360 wants. Also, turns off and on with the 360. Perfect.

No fan? But I have not seen a need.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Confused

Great price per gig. You cant deny the great looks and nice blue light. matches my NZXT case very well !

HERE is where i have a problem. I have had severe issues with it locking up my system. It has issues deleting files off it. As it stands I have done a full format and have the same issues. I currently have one folder that I cannot delete on it as well as two 30 gig back ups i have done. When the lock up comes, I have to restart. I literally locks everything up.

I have seen serveral others will similar issues. I will be contacting WD to see if they have any input.
