Western Digital My Book Essential 1TB review
External hard disks aren't always the most attractive pieces of kit and they often look ugly sat on a desk. Not so with Western Digital's My Book Essential. As its name suggests, the disk's rounded edges are designed to fit in with the rest of your books on a shelf, and the top, rear and back...

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.

Build looks sturdy and there is sufficient space for cooling air flow. The disk powers up quickly. It comes bundled with useful security and backup software from WD. I have set the disk to power off after 20 minutes of disuse to save power and elongate its life.

Excellent Item
This EHD is brilliant, it simple does what its meant to, with an amazing amount of space (2TB). Excellent value for money compared to other retailers. I would highly recommend this.

Pros:

Cons:
- Cost
- You gain nothing over a USB 3.0 version of this at 4 times the price because it has thunderbolt

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.

Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB
Definitely not good for streaming movie files. I always have to hard reset my media center in order to unfreeze it from idle. If you run it constant then it works but once it sits idle for 3hrs, it's frozen until you either unplug it or hard reset the computer.
