  • Abstract:  Coming in the now familiar ‘book’ aesthetic common to Western Digital’s desktop drives, this 3TB monster among the most affordable of the 3TB drives on the market, with a street price of around $239. That’s a great deal for a drive that comes w...

  • USB 3.0 could finally put FireWire to bed. should Apple ever adopt it
  • eSATA is still faster
  • If you've set yourself up with a USB 3.0 connection, the My Book Essential is a decent desktop drive to complement it, and shows promise for the interface in the times ahead....

  • Large capacity, Speedy transfers, Backup software
  • No drive management, No capacity indicator
  • The WD My Book Essential might prove to be essential if you're looking for large capacities in a smaller external casing. But it's not just a large tome in a small cover – the My Book Essential also has speedy transfers and nifty features that you'll enj...

  • Compared with other WD products, the WD My Book Essential has a longer USB cable which is really handy for an external drive that you don't want to carry often. For advanced computer users, the SmartWare can be annoying especially if you want more control...

  • Solid overall performance, Looks very appealing, WD SmartWare works seamlessly, USB 3.0 compliant, Build quality
  • A bit bulky
  • The 4TB Western Digital My Book Essential, as the name suggests, is a well thought out backup drive that just essentially does what it needs to do. It will let you back your files up seamlessly, without you even knowing it. – Provided that you set it up i...

  • Very fast; Quiet operations due to fanless design; Large 3TB capacity is good value for money,
  • Not recommended for anything other than storage & backup as it's running at 5400rpm

  • Sehr leise, Guter Preis-pro-GByte, Hohe Kapazität
  • Durchschnittliche Performance
  • Mit einem Preis von 4,3 Cent pro GByte gehört die Western Digital My Book Essential 3TB zu den günstigsten externen 3,5-Zoll-Festplatten im Test. Dabei ist sie auch im Betrieb kaum zu hören. Die Transferraten von knapp über 100 MByte/s sind für eine USB-...

  • Western Digital hat nicht umsonst einen sehr guten Ruf in Sachen interner und externer Festplatten (das gilt übrigens für 2,5 und 3,5 Zoll Modelle) und verfügt natürlich über reichlich Erfahrung. Nicht umsonst sind die My Book-Serien die meistverkaufte...
