WD My Book

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

Western Digital 320GB USB/FireWire My Book

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.

Garbage, Almost completely dead after 4 months of light use, Not even 1tb used.

Buy a Standard WD black or blue drive and get your own external enclosure if you need a portable HD. These proprietary external enclosures are trash and should not be used for important data.

It reduced my need fromm several smaller drives

I really like it as I was able to transfer all of my photos and other stuff on it in one location. I'm happy with it. The only thing I did was to format it to a Gpt. I do prefer WD drives over other brands.

it runs cool and quiet; It was good value for the money at the time

Failed almost 3 years to the day

I got this unit 07/24/2014. It failed yesterday. 07/21/2017. Just under 3 years. I was using as a backup drive using the WD software that came with the drive. First I tried a compatible power supply from another WD external drive. Power supply numbers were verified on the WD website.

Great Product at a Great Price

Took only a week to receive my Western Digital data storage device. It arrived nicely packaged and exceeds my expectations so far. Quick, compact and quiet. works with my new windows 10 laptop and gives much greater data storage capacity, totally as advertised. Great value, Tech for Less!

My Book 4TB hard drive

A good buy, but it is a 3400 rpm drive, not 7200. I should have perused the specs more carefully. Basically only good for storage of data. Not suitable for editing video as I had planned.
