I have three WD drives internally apart from the Apple one in my
machine and resently purchased a MyBook 1.5TB
The MyBook has been working perfectly for about 2 weeks and has now
lost the firewire controller.
Took it back to PLE who confirmed the Firewire controller seems dead.
The drives themselves still have data on them fine which was a relief
but I only have USB1 on my work machine.
So this has been my first hiccup with the WB brand and the drives
themselves are still fine. I have no idea what happened to the
controlled.
The warranty will only cover the drive as a unit not the case which
means how I have to find room to return the data to my machine and
before I erase the drive and get it swapped for a new one.
This does make me wonder how useful this is going to be as a backup
drive as a full 1.5 TB with any dead controller is going to be
absoultely useless as I won't have the room to return the data
WEZ!
