The WD My Book Essential external hard drive is perfect for back-ups. I use the Windows 7 built-in backup software, and it works just fine with this drive.

Big let down
I bought this product a couple days ago. I tried to back up files on it tonight and found the product to be in read only mode. I tried using the unlocking program with it- and it said it was for different operating system or the drive was locked. DUH! I am returning the product in the morning.

The only problems I have with this hard drive is that it's shiny exterior can be easily smudged up with your fingers. It also has no power button on it and you can't eject it from your computer. This means that it will stay on unless you physically shut down your computer and then unplug it.

Fast and Easy!
This external hard drive works perfectly and is incredibly easy to use! It is by far the best one I've ever run into. If you have Windows or Linux it will be easy as pie to set up, but if you have a Mac, like me, it is not a good product for beginners!

External Hard Drive
This is a great product. Back up your entire computer. Lots of room for music and karaoke files. The BEST I would reccommend it to everyone so they don't lose important photos etc.

Western Digital My Book 3.0 1TB review
Move over eSATA, the speedy USB 3.0 is here to replace you! With speeds that feel entirely like you are using an internal hard disk, the Western Digital My Book 3.0 1TB can be used for both storage and for daily purposes.

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.
Pros:
- Excellent capacity
- Fanless.
Cons:
- Had trouble with our benchmark tests
- Lacks capacity indicator

Great drive... a little unstable though
It's a great hard drive for the price! Very easy to use, tons of space and sleek design. My only issue is that I'd like a wider base. I keep it next to a laptop that gets moved a lot and I've knocked it over several times.
Pros:
- Attractive Design
- Easy To Setup
- Easy to use
- High Capacity
- Portable
- Quiet
Cons:
- Unstable base
