Excellent Hard Drive
Initially when I tried to install this HD to my computer it kept asking me for the program disc which was never included in the box I started to somewhat "freak out". But I soon found out that in the back of the HD there is an "ON" button (which I didn't notice) and the HD installed on its own.

I bought this for providing storage for a Freeview DishTV digital receiver via USB. It came with back up software which was surplus to my requirements. The Receiver reformatted it and recognized the drive without a hitch. All video seems to be stored and replayed without any problems.

Excellent product
I bought this product during Christmas and found it is very useful. Besides it is tiny slim design, its performance exceeded my expection as well. Highly recommended.

Nice Hard Drive
Thought I was getting a great deal of a terabyte of storage for less than $90.00 until I bought locally a 2 terabyte drive for $79.00 at Fry's electronics.

Good little drive
Good for backing up music, pictures etc and because it is small and portable the drive is easily carried around. Only negative is the cable supplied is rather short.
Pros:
- Portable
- Small
Cons:
- Short cable

Western Digital My Book (4TB)
The Western Digital My Book (4TB) ($209.99 list) desktop-class external hard drive gives the photo, music, or video collector a place to keep a whole lot of files. It's basic, utilitarian storage that will get the job done, and sometimes that's all you need.

Western Digital My Book Essential 4TB Review
Western Digital has taken a "more is better" approach with its latest iteration of the WD My Book Essential HDD. The top model features a single 4TB drive and a USB3.0 interface to help speed up the process of filling it up.
Pros:
- Good value
- Includes backup software for Windows users
- Top availalable capacity for single-drive externals
Cons:
- Mac users and those PC users who want more performance to go along with raw disk size my want to consider the My Book Studio series

Western Digital My Book Essential 3TB USB 3.0 Black
3 TB! Excellent price for a 3 TB drive. Not that rapid. Slow spin up time if it's been idle. I got two of these, and carry them about often simply because I rotate them to another place for offsite backups. No reliability concerns but.USB 3.

WD My Book Essential 1TB USB 3.0 External HD Review.
Seems very easy to set up - It automatically loads drivers and software in about 20 seconds per machine - I installed on 3 laptops and 2 desktops no problems. Thereafter works well so far for large back ups and is particularly fast if you've got a computer with a 3.0 USB port.

Cause it was cheap, i like that it was cheap i dislike that its so big and requires a power output this is obviously an outdated hard drive and isn't advanced as 2011 + range.
