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.

    My first one is 16 years old. It's amazing it lasted this long. I'm sure this one will be the same

    Excellent hard drive for the price. I use it for my xbox one and it is an absolute must since the internal hard drive is so small. It is simple to install and has a fast transfer rate.

    I'm using this HDD as an external to my PS4 and it works seamlessly. In fact it actually works faster than the internal one at times, such as downloading the data to the disc.

    Bought this 3 TB for a customer. Normally I would not buy one this size due to how much it costs for Data recovery. Always buy the smallest size possible.

    I have four of these drives, I use two on a Xbox 1s. And two on a Xbox 1 in a another room. One of the drives I have had four years and never gave me any trouble.

    I purchased this for my son as a Christmas present. I don't know much about the technology he uses, but he says that he really likes this and it meets his needs.

    My son has lots of Ps4 games and the storage space on the console isn't enough. But with 3T it's more than enough. No more deleting games to play new ones.

    This product worked great, but was difficult to figure out how to get it to work from the software. Too many ADS listed to buy OTHER software products. It did a great job backing up my files.

    great tool. Just had to call to find out that with Windows 10, it would not just install. Had to go to file menu and find the proper .exe file. Other than that it set up, does the scheduled updates.
