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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Happy with this so far

This is just what I needed to back up my files. It works well and is small enough that I don't mind carrying it around if I have to. I would recommend this to people who want a safe and easy way to back up their files!
