Western Digital My Book Desktop Review | Tested

techgearlab.com

A reliable giant in storage, the WD My Book 3TB offers impressive speed and substantial capacity for stationary setups, making it a top choice for desktop use. However, its bulky design and the need for an AC outlet make it less ideal for portability. If you need a dependable drive to park at your desk, this is a solid option, but those seeking mobility should look elsewhere.

Western Digital My Book Review | PCMag

pcmag.com

The Western Digital My Book 8TB external drive offers a massive storage capacity at an aggressive price, making it ideal for heavy downloaders and gamers. Its backward compatibility with Macs and PCs is a plus, and it comes with a three-year warranty. However, it requires an external power adapter and is not as fast as some specialized drives, making it more suited for backups rather than intense work projects. Overall, it's a solid choice for those needing extensive and affordable storage, earning it an Editors' Choice accolade.

WD My Book (Fall 2016) review: A good (if ho-hum) external hard drive - CNET

cnet.com

The WD My Book (Fall 2016) delivers in terms of design and storage capacity, offering fast speeds and strong encryption. However, its lack of USB-C support, higher price, and slower performance compared to competitors like the Seagate Backup Plus Hub make it less appealing. With no standout features beyond encryption, it's overshadowed by better options, though price drops could improve its value.

WD My Book Review - StorageReview.com

storagereview.com

WD's My Book 3TB offers a stylish update with a modern, compact design and reliable performance for data backup. Its easy-to-use WD Backup software and options for cloud storage are commendable features. However, the lack of component upgrades leaves it feeling like just a visual refresh. While it performs well for its intended use of backing up cold data, the My Book doesn't break new ground beyond aesthetics. A solid choice for those prioritizing style and capacity over innovation.
