I have 2 USB MyBooks from WD. Both 500GB and they work well, though it seems they don't like being on full-time. I now use them once a week or so for backups.

Or before I travel.

I still think the McDonalds settlement was too high. I think that McDonalds was wrong, they deserved to pay, and should have been fined, but if it was that big a problem, it should have been a larger suit (or more suits) going to more people. Not $2M to one person (I know it got reduced).
