My book essential 1tb power supply Pc#
Just plug in the adaptor and USB then it's ready for use!īy default, it's formatted with the PC FAT32 system leaving you with 931GB of space to use so if you want to store bigger files such as dual layer DVD ISOs or are using a Mac, you might want to re-format it beforehand. You can make out the internal hard drive housed inside the case and could probably replace it with something bigger if you're adventurous enough.

The hard drive is well packaged inside the nice green box. Of course, I'll still be using the smaller 160GB Toshiba ALU drive because this isn't so convenient to set up with a separate power supply. Thought I'd back up my entire digital music collection into a single place instead of DVDs so I picked up a 1TB Western Digital My Book Essential Hard Drive.
