Mnbruce Goldmember More info | Jan 28, 2007 12:20 | #1 I want to purchase a external hard drive to store my photos but I know nothing about them. I'm thinking of picking up a 250GB Western Digital My Book Premium today, any one know anything about this product? It also comes with software to back-up the files. Thank you.

It was a great price for the storage space it has. It's small, no noise, looks good, easy to instal, and I like the fact that it turn on and off with the computer. It's going on 3 months and I had no problems with it, so I recomend it. Let me know if you have any other questions or would like to see a pic Sony A6000 With 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS and Vario-Tessar TE 16-70mm F4 ZA OSS / Canon T1I With EF-S 15-85MM f3.5-5.6 IS USM

They also have a 500 gig for $190. Both are USB2. "Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

You can use the Backup utility in Windows or a third party application just the same or just copy & paste.
