Western Digital My Book 3.0 External Hard Drive 3.5 "USB 3.0 / USB 2.0 2TB (Accessory)

Customer Review

Western Digital specializes in hard drive for years. Having already had a former disc that has always given me great satisfaction is a priori rather positive I had to receive this external drive 2TB version.
But look a little more detail what it was in the belly.

* Appearance *

All seems sturdy and well finished. No doubt about it exudes quality. Note that the supply to the drive is not internally. Several tips for the power outlet is available (Europe, Asia, ...).

The connector at the back of the disc, however, seems a bit fragile. It is more than likely that it will avoid connecting / disconnecting the drive too often from the back. The USB cable (2.0 and 3.0 according to its compatible computer or not for the 3.0) is just over a meter what seems to be a fair bit depending on the location where you will place the disk.

Although fairly stable a little extra support to put the disc on his desk could have been more sensible and reassuring. Its size is reasonable but can weigh the disk quite easily after a careless movement for example.

We can also regret the absence of full documentation to the interior of the box. It will indeed plug the drive into his computer to find them installed above it all (software suite, manual, ...).

* Use *

First satisfaction: silence. The disc even writing is very quiet and delightful.
The transfer speeds are very satisfactory and the disc does not heat much. The case is well ventilated which is a good thing especially in terms of longevity.

The software is simple to use and can be quite useful for all its backups. Positive, we can absolutely do without it, it is not at all necessary. Everyone will do according to his needs and adapt the configuration of the hard disk as it sees fit.

Tested under Vista no recognition problem.

* Conclusion *

A hard drive quite satisfactory, perfect for data backup use. Its weight and connection that seems a little sensitive to necessarily limit the stay mostly office to avoid doing too much travel.
The quality / price seems to me quite good.
Although some minor flaws mentioned above, this is still a great value with a larger hard drive manufacturers in the world.
