Benchmark Results
Let's see how the performance of the MyBook stacks up in all three of its Firewire 800, Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces.
Data Transfer Diagrams
The data transfer charts are interesting because they show that the Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 interfaces bottleneck the transfer, while the Firewire 800 interface is fast enough to outrun the internal drive once it starts to fill up.

About the 'intelligent drive management' I am not that sure. It may be better than drives, which do not power down at all, but it still annoying that you cannot switch off the drive completely. For example the Seagate drives behave the same way, but in addition you can switch them off, so they will stay off when you switch off and on your PC. The WD will power on every time you power on your PC, which I personnally do not like at all.
