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.

    Difficult Mac connection

    Unlike some HD's this was not just a "plug and go" situation. It took several hours to get the drive to finally work with Time Machine on my new iMac. I made numerous calls to Apple and WD. Finally WD support, which was of very little if any help, suggested I take the drive back and start over with a new one, which I did. Same problems but finally with a lot of online reading, I was able to get things working like they should.

    This is a typical Western Digital external hard drive that works very well. The only brand hard drive I will buy because it is reliable and does what it is supposed to do.
