Since our tests were primarily conducted via Firewire 400, you can expect a lot more if you’re loaded with the obviously faster Firewire 800 that the drive supports. You can see for yourself that the read/write rates are quite good. Cables (Firewire and USB) are provided for PC connections so you’re good to go as soon as it’s out of the box. The glossy black rim and silver shell are also quite eye-catching. What does make it stand out are the FireWire and standard mini USB connectivity ports that are very neatly concealed by a slider on one side of the drive. Weighing in at about 180g with dimensions of 18 x 126.76 x 81mm (H x L x W), WD’s 320GB external hard drive’s design is not unlike any other.
