Hi
I am about to buy one of these but can’t track down the pros and cons of each. I’d value some advice.

Hi!
Don’t know the difference re: your question.
I am the the owner of a "MY Book Essential " 750GB external HD…I bought it based on the reputation of WD.
However, after a month of nothing but problems with it and the inability of WD support people to fix them, I would not buy a WD External HD…just my opinion though as I have nothing but problems such as:
1- can’t download latest firmware and smartware releases;
2- The hard drive quit updating and I have no idea how to fix the problem.
These kind of products should be simple to use and you should not have to have a computer science degree specializing in PC products to figure problems out.
WD support on a scale to 1 to 10, is a “2” at best.
If I were to start all over, would try another product such a Seagate after one does “due diligence” on its ease of use and durability.
Good luck and hope you have a problem free experience.
Cheers.
