I've exactly the same external HD, and it works like a charm on my
squeeze, and now with my wheezy, without installing other software.

One of my friend buy the same model, and it doesn't work with W$7, nor
with my Linux, even after "upgrading microcode unit" as described on the
troubleshooting section of WD website. One exchange later, it works
good.

Maybe some have a build problem, or maybe it can be the power drain of
the unit?

HTH.
