Western Digital My Book 4 TB (WDBACW0040HBK) Review
Western Digital's My Book series has been around for some generations now, catering to users who want huge capacity but are not necessarily looking at portable drives. With the My Book 4TB drive WD offers a desktop drive with the maximum capacity available on a single drive.

Design fail.
Design fail. The fastest cable on the market limited by some of the slowest drives WD has available.
Pros:
- Looks pretty
Cons:
- Cost
- You gain nothing over a USB 3.0 version of this at 4 times the price because it has thunderbolt

WD My Book Essential - 1TB USB 3.0 External HDD
Does what it is supposed to do - nothing more, nothing less. I bought this HDD as it is on the certified external drive list for the Wii U and thus works great with the said console.

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.

My first HD
As is the description it is my first hd but sadly it needs power to run. Hd is very good in terms of read and write ratio. Out of 1tb only 989gb is available. Formating of the hd is also v easy. It can be connected to any pc or laptop and also to tvs for entertainment purpose.

2GB WD EXT. DRIVE
GREAT LITTLE REFURB FOR THE DVR, AS YOU CAN'T GO WITH MORE THAN 2GB WITH DISH. DEAL WAS PERFECT. UNIT IS SILENT AND ONLY SLIGHTLY WARM AFTER A 24 HR TRANSFER.

Great improvement over older version/model
Great - has a metal cradle which attaches it to the back of the TV out of the way Also has no addition power adaptor (like in the older model) as it gets its power from the TVs USB powered slot - therefore it has just the 1 cable to connect into the tv

Lasted seven and a half years
I bought this drive back in 2011 and it lasted until a couple of weeks ago. I have used it in various ways primarily for backups, using Windows backup for awhile to do image backups, and then moving to Crashplan local until they ended their free home license.
