The My Book offers huge amounts of storage. I purchased to provide a simple backup drive for my home computer - it's unobtrusive and simple to set up.

Thank you littlewoods the order was processed very quick and delivered in one day and once i had opened up the package and read the instructions and the website leading to software for the Western drive to download directly to my computer.

Good and fast work. but never place it vertically. Always put it on its side when it works. If it suddenly falls to the side you will lose your data !!

This hard drive WD but inside plastic box HITACHI; however it have good speed and it reliable hard drive; We recommend this brand and we use it in our business

bad design; Old "my book" style i like better

"Shucked" the internal white label drive out of the enclosure easily enough. Using the drive in a mirror array.

Does exactly what it says on the box. One coat, Clear coat

Strangely mixed reviews. Editors of The Wirecutter award the My Book their "Best External Desktop Hard Drive" title partly because of its good record for reliability. In their analysis of Amazon.com reviews, they found a failure rate of under 5 percent.

Lots of capacity for the price; Fast transfer speeds; Easy setup

Mixed reviews for reliability; Some software glitches

Right away it's clear to see where the name of the product comes from - it looks like a book! The front of the My Book has two clear rings. The inner ring is lit with a blue LED to show the remaining free space on the drive.

First time using a WD hard drive, currently doing brilliantly. Price is very good on Play-Asia.

THIS IS ONE BAD ASS STORAGE DEVICE!!!

Why is this external hard drive different from all other external hard drives?
