    Purchased this external hard drive to beef up the memory on my Xbox One 500GB. Was incredibly easy to install and works like a dream. Formatting was easy and moving apps and games from internal to external hard drive was very simple and self explanatory. Price point was very affordable for what you get. Would definitely use this product for years to come. Great find!!!

    Slow hard drive wastes fast USB 3 connection

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Despite having the capability to access at USB 3 speeds, the hard drive built inside the WD My Book 4TB is very slow. Read and write times are far below our older WD external drive purchased in 2013.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It is dependable very dependable. This thing works very well, and not only that it shuts off automatically when properly disconnected from the computers USB drive, even though it is still plugged in the wall outlet. I found this out by accident. The older ones didn't do that. I am very pleased with my investment.

    Bought this drive in a 3GB My Book and liked it so well I purchased the 4GB My Book. It works smoothly and silently. I use it with my IMAC and I would recommend this. I have Seagate drives and they tend to be noisier and slower to wake. Love the WD My Book.
