    Prefer the older model of it; pity they're not manufacturing them any more. Good drives though.

    Looks nicer, easier to stack and maybe better protected from a fall.

    Old model vs. new:

    I have a 500gb older model and a 1.5tb newer model. The older one feels sturdier but the newer one looks nicer.

    I have mine sitting under my tv and it never moves so I prefer the nicer looking new model.

    I have one - got from Amazon a couple of weeks ago - dead on - absolutely quiet, seems fast, neat little power supply (just wall-plug, no brick).
    Is the bare bones system - you need the MyBook ones if you want flickering blue lights and backup software.
    Was very tempted by the sexy looking Hitachi 1TB on Amazon - but eventually decide to save the €10+
