Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the ample storage capacity and ease of use of the My Book 3TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive. Its reliability and reasonable price point are also frequently praised, along with the convenient USB connection and relatively small size. While some users noted occasional noise and connection issues, the positive feedback on storage, ease of use, and reliability outweighs these concerns.

    If you're going to have more than a few games on your Xbox, then you need an external HD like this. Games also load noticeably more quickly than from the Xbox

    Bought this to replace an older unit that was starting to fail. Previous experience with WD has been good so sticking with the brand.

    I have a dozen or so of these drives. I work with a lot of video production projects and these serve as secondary backups. The drives have been very reliable.

    This system is a simple plug and play type. Nothing over the top for you to get going. Great addition for pc or Xbox expanded storage.

    Easy to set up. Suits my needs. Easy to plug in the computer and the outlet. I am just trying to find enough words to meet 50 so that I can submit this review without telling me I need to say more words.

    This was a purchase to address the need to store data (specific business library) on a separate hard drive. The WD-MyBook drive works nicely. No problems.

    It does its job well. One downsides are somewhat loud noise and slow initiation time. If you are going to use it as a storage, then it is good enough.

    A temporary glitch occurred shortly after launch but with the invaluable help of WD tech support, the pilot error problem was soon rectified.
