We use this for actual backups at our work using Backup Exec since we are between backup servers.

I accidentally decided to see how rugged it was. I dropped it from counter level onto slate tile which is some of the hardest tile around. I swore it landed on an edge before it slammed into the baseboard. When I picked it up, no scratches, dents, cracks or anything to clue me in on where it hit.

Then the test came. Would it backup like it has done many time previously?
The first day, after backing up, but getting ready to run the verify, it crashed by saying the media was corrupt. But since then, it has done it's job quite well.

I highly recommend this product based on the drop and recovery test alone.
The actual model number is WD5000MEB (blue casing with light blue edging), which I couldn't locate on Amazon, but the model this review is under is the closest I could find.
WesternDigital Saves the day with back-ups

Have used this portable hard drive to retrieve accidentally erased files.
It really SAVED-THE-DAY.
Program works very well, and mostly works in the background - un-obtrusivly.
I though so much of this hard drive - I bought an extra.
