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.

    There was no fine print when I ordered this online so to my dismay it only worked with a lower version of iMac iOS. I have Sierra. I called the Geek Squad and they gave me the number to Western Digital. They answered right away and helped me reformat the hard drive to fit with Sierra. He was kind and patient with me and it was working within 10 minutes.

    I researched this drive before buying. All of the research paid off as this is turning out to be a great choice. I had a 1TB Toshiba that has been complete junk. I needed to replace it and decided to go with a WD after all of the reviews I have read. Have absolutely no regrets!

    Took a bit longer to set up than an earlier My Book model but appears to work well after set up complete. Only issue is that you have to click on "restore" just to check to make sure everything was backed up. You should be able to check without starting the restore process, in my opinion.

    This external hard drive works best when you install the included software for automated your file backups. With USB 3.0 backup times are fast. WD included software has encryption feature. WD software installs drivers for automated backups.

    Getting a bit noisy after a year. I packed many years of backup into this. Not as fast as my SSD, but the capacity is awesome. Will have to transfer into SSD before the noise gets worse.
