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.

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!

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.

"An Essential Hard Drive for everyone!"

Overview Western Digital are famous for Hard Drives and this is one of their drives in their Essential's range. On the face of it, you get a whopping 2Tb of space (more than you could ever use?) that is packed into a stylish modern casing. But what are you really getting?
Pros:
  • Stylish Design
  • Large Capacity
  • Plug & Play
Cons:
  • Slightly overpriced

WD 2TB USB 3.0 External Hard Drive

This hard drive was an excellent price. It is working well, and is simple to use. I have not tried to use any of the special features, as I'm just using it as a backup drive for now.

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.

Fast, very quiet and flexible.

I have a Mac Mini running iTunes that accesses films stored on this NAS. This in turn is available to my Apple TV. The whole arrangement works very well indeed.<br /><br />I also use the NAS to store all my photos and other assorted data.
Pros:
  • Fast
  • Quiet
  • Simple setup
Cons:
  • None

A Great Addition To Our System

This is an upgrade actually. We were using a 500mb Western Digital and wanted more space so we got this 1tb external. One thing to note: This newer model has an always-on mentality in that the software is always wanting the thing to be connected.
