Warning !!!! Out of the box, a WD external hard drive does not allow transfer of files larger than 4 GB. If you want to transfer files larger than 4 GB you have to reformat the hard drive. Of course, when you do you lose everything on the drive.

This is especially unfortunate when you've transferred 200+ GB to it from a video editing project and you have no where to put it when you reformat.

BEWARE of the "30 day free trial!" The promotion states that you can cancel at any time during the first 30 days and not be billed for the membership. They even give you an e-mail address to use for cancellation.

28 days into my free trial I sent a cancellation notice to the provided e-mail address and even got what looked like a confirmation reply ("We're sorry you didn't like our service...").

However, after 30 days they billed my Visa account for the membership fee. Here's the catch, it's not a confirming e-mail that they send. Down in the body of the e-mail is a statement that they would prefer that you contact them by phone to cancel your subscription. It's not the first line of the e-mail, and it's not something like "To cancel your membership you must call this number immediately."

If you call to complain they will tell you that you agreed to the terms yadda, yadda, yadda, and they will try to convince you that you just didn't read the fine print so too bad. I held my ground, and explained to them that this was clearly an engineered system to deceive the would-be member and they finally caved in and said they would refund my money in three days. That was one day ago so I haven't seen the money yet.

Bottom line is that I would not recommend doing business with a company that intentionally trys to trick you, and it's clear to me that they are doing just that.

American Intimates is an outright fraud.

I order 3 pairs of socks that were identified as "in stock" on Dec 6, 2006 and as of Jan 10, 2007 I have not received my order.

I've sent 6 e-mails but wiht no reply.

I've tried calling their phone number but it's busy 24/7.

Please do not use this company under any circumstances.
