Does this product work/adapt with both Western Digital WD800JD and WD800BEVE (Scorpio Blue) HD's?

I do not know--this was so unreliable I have stopped using it. It did not matter what drives I used--none would stay connected. Also, realize you can only use one at a time.

I found the adapter info on E-bay (follow the link) http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-Western-Digital-WD-1TB-My-Book-Essential-HD-External-Hard-Drive-Adaptor12V/171050533357?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222003%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D7247654651354539816%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D20131003132420%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D171050533357&rt;=nc (you may have to copy the link to your address bar in your browser.)

Yes. The adapter I received is compatible. However, it was not the same as what is pictured. I have recently purchased a new bigger Western Digital drive and the adapter that came with it is the same as what I was sent.

I've experienced no problems with backward compatibility in my system. (I even have a SCSI drive networked to the LaCie 3, and it works great!)

I would say it doesn't matter if this drive will work with you're system, don't buy it. The Buffalo DriveStation is a piece of junk, read the reviews. Mine didn't last a month and I lost a lot of pictures and video. Hope this helps.

This did not work on my WD Blue 500GB drive. You need an external power source to power the drive. SATA connection worked fine. There just wasn't enough juice to power the hard drive even with both usb connectors plugged in.

I use mine sometimes in Win8 so it should. Double check that Windows has BluRay playing capability built-in from a software perspective. I think it does but wouldn't say I'm 100%. The drive itself will work just fine though.

Personally i have no idea of electrical stuff, so when i received my drive, I asked the same question to a big local electrical equipment store showing them the specific WD adaptor found in the box (US type). They insured me after observing the specifications at the back of the adaptor that adaptor is compatible and i will have no problem. I just had to purchase a US [ I I ] (flat pins) to EUR [ o o ] (round pinholes) plug converter (that cost me 3 euros). My drive works fine 3 weeks now.

I have 4 Western Digital Red 3TB drives in mine. It has been running non-stop since I bought it. The best investment I've made in computer hardware in long time. Segate and Western digital will both work in it. Not sure if differnt size drives will work though.

Dunno...but I doubt it. You'd probably get an answer from WD's customer service 877-934-6972 (Mon-Fri)

I am not sure if it will work. I am using the adapter for a Western Digital WD500 external hard drive and it works fine.

It should - I put a WD 500GB IDE hard drive in mine - The crucial thing is that you set the jumper correctly (making it a 'Master') - The settings are on a sticker on the HDD itself. Hope this helps.

The best answer is that my WD unit liked it. If you have a newer model/version - then I can not answer but I know they would not want to mess with something that is working for now. Besides, it is cheep and if it doesn't work your only out a few bucks.

Its a good thing doing research on these products before you buy. I purchased the AL2216WBD and it does have the HDCP support. The difference between the WBD and the WSD is the color of the monitor itself, one being BLACK and the other SILVER, hence the WBD and WSD

I only have experience with the Western Digital one, and it works fine once you use Acronis to format it. It's up to you. But, keep in mind if you do get the Western Digital one, they send the drive alone, no screws and no cables, just the drive.

No, I never got the blue ray drive to work. With my Lenovo G505s which is windows 8.1. I recommended buying a name brand one, and one that comes with software. This one does not come with software.

hello, look at the packaging says it's fit for that HD, I buy a WDBY8L and the packaging says it is not compatible with the HD though fits perfectly
