3 out of 5 stars Do NOT use the WD Auto Backup!   October 8, 2008
T. Ong (Cambridge, MA, United States)
The Memeo backup software included on this My Book is seriously outdated. Do not install it! Instead, do the following:

1. Go to memeo.com and install the latest version of Memeo AutoBackUp Standard.

2. Use the same software product key that is on the quick install guide of this My Book.

You will save a lot of time!!

I wrote the following about the first generation of "My Books."

"Although the drive access is loud, this drive is a solid performer. As such, I have made this the standard external hard drive in my house. I will purchase several more for archive purposes."

This remains true and I will be purchasing more.
