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.

    I've had good luck with WD products. This one is no different. It's reliable and that's what you want with a backup hard drive. I have more than one and will purchase more in the future. Recommended for anyone!

    I unpacked and connected the hard drive to our Apple IMAC and within 10 minutes it was setup to backup photos and docs. It has been running as expected for a month and backing up the system every morning at 3 am.

    Bought an Xbox one s which came with 500 gb. Then bought this WD 3tb hard drive for a lot less than what it would have cost me to buy the 1tb Xbox. This was definitely the best way to go for the perfect price.

    I bought this hard drive to store my XBox One games on, so the memory on my console wouldn't be full. I've got about 35 games on the hard drive, and I've barely taken up 20% of the space.

    It worked really well with Windows 10; however, it does not work with Windows OS before Windows 7 so, basically you must have at least Windows 7 for it to work. I am also making a review on my DD3 8GB RAM just recently installed I wasn't able to make a review before because it wasn't installed, but it has made a big difference in my desktop PC's processing speed before I had to hit control alt delete and click on program manager then click on end program when the program or Internet browser would not respond, however, now I don't have to do that at all. so the 8GB of RAM bumping my desktop PC's RAM up to 12GB of RAM made a big difference.

    Great Product. Quick Easy setup. One word of caution, must be used on newer PCs. This was not an issue for me on this purchase but was for a client with an older machine running some proprietary software

    This HD is great for people who have a desktop and want more storage. because it has it's own power source it is faster then the USB ones. A great fit for my business.

    If you shoot a lot of images and want them stored, this is a must. My only thing is get the mybook cloud. You can access your files anywhere. No need to take the mybook with you.

    I installed the hard drive on a 2017 IMAC. It required re-formatting, but works flawlessly. I would highly recommend.

    This is the latest version of the basic version of My Book, legendary Western Digital external hard drive brand. I used the last version for 6 years, I hope to get the same mileage on this one.

    I mean it’s a hard drive, so it’s not exactly a life changing purchase, but it’s a quality build and works fine, I wouldn’t say it’s lighting fast as it is not solid state but a good solution for backing up family photos etc...

    We got this as a hard drive solution for a Wii U. It's a bit overkill for that but set up was easy and later it can double as storage space for our college student. Great deal when we got it on sale. Haven't had any issues with the drive.
