Input: This model is about as simple as one can get. A box with a hard drive in it that stores<br />a multitude of docs, photos, recordings, or whatever you can digitize. One draw back<br />is that there is no backup software. You will have to drag and drop all your files initially<br />and subsequently whenever you update any of those files. Nothing is automatic.<br /><br />In the box is the hard drive, a USB 2.0 cable, a AC adapter power cable and set-up<br />instructions. This drive is designed to turn on and off with your computer as well.<br />Set-up is very simple with plug-and-play technology: plug in to power strip, plug the<br />USB cable into a receptacle on your computer. Your computer will recognize your external<br />hard drive and assign it a letter. You are all set to drag and drop your precious files.<br /><br />I have had this model for three years and If I had my druthers I would have spent the<br />extra money and gotten the WD hard drive with the automatic backup software. I<br />purchased one for a friend and set it up and it works like a dream. The only time it<br />took was to initialize the first backup onto the hard drive. After that it only adds what<br />it needs to do update the backup. Simple.<br /><br />Some people would say, why not use the backup software that comes with your Windows 7<br />operating system. I did. I don't like it. It was not as simple to set up and maintain as the<br />WD HD; and not as efficient.  Why? Because every time my Windows 7 backup program<br />backs up, it back up the whole computer hard drive, again. It is much simpler to buy<br />the external hard drive with the dedicated backup software.<br /><br />After 3 years I have had absolutely no problems with this passive Western Digital hard<br />drive. So I can absolutely recommend buying it, but with one caveat; get the model with<br />the back up software. Your life will be easier and more secure with auto back up. Believe<br />me you will be glad you did. I am going to purchase another one real soon and it will<br />have the software included.ng to purchase another one real soon and it will<br />have the software included.
