## Description

ModelPerformancePhysical SpecFeatures

Review: Another solid WD product - I purchased this drive largely based upon a specific need for a USB 3.0 product with 4TB of storage. I've owned many WD internal and external HD products over time and have not had any drive failures to date over many years. I purchased this drive specifically as a backup storage drive attached to a Synology 1813+ NAS unit. This required a reformat to EXT4 as the drive comes natively formated in NTFS. The Synology NAS schedules backup to this drive of selected folder shares using the "Time Backup" software available from Synology. I'm not utilizing any of the software included from WD with this drive (backup, cloud, etc.) as the Synology NAS has its own software for each of these purposes. The drive itself is similar in size to other My Book drives. The plastic casing is certainly not as nice as the aluminum finish on the WD My Book drives that I have for my Macs, but it is similar to the black of the Synology unit and overall looks good. The power adapter is reasonably sized (not a brick), and the unit comes with a USB 3.0 cord for use with its single USB 3.0/2.0 port. WD provides a 2-year warranty with this product. There are cheaper drives with similar specs available from other companies. However, having had drive failures with Seagate over the years, I'm unwilling to take chances with other options. It's important to backup your valued files, and WD drives have played a major role in my backup solutions over time. If I have issues with this drive, I'll update my review. This seems to be another winner from WD! Edit/Addendum: Following my review, another desertcart user asked me an excellent question, "Does the USB connection to the drive feel flimsy?" This is a very appropriate question given concerns raised with the prior generation of this same My Book device. While I don't own the previous My Book version in question, I did check the USB connector on my device. The supplied USB 3.0 cable seems to be stable in its connection to the rear port of the My Book case. I can't physically make it move horizontally or vertically with any significance - unless I were to apply excessive force. Modest attempts at movement of the USB cable did not disrupt the connection. I don't plan to move this My Book from one place to another (it's connected to my NAS), so I suppose that I won't be able to comment well on wear-and-tear issues with respect to the USB connector. Other My Book devices that I own are the Mac Firewire/USB 2.0 version. Those have never struck me as flimsy. Update 1/18/14: Since writing my original review, I've purchased a 2nd unit which I reformatted for Mac OS X and use for "time machine" backup. Both drives are functioning well and have had no issues. I'm still very pleased with the quality and function of the drives. Reading through a number of the questions regarding this drive, it's clear that the term "cloud backup" as assigned by WD to this drive is a bit of a marketing stretch. As has been noted by others, the "cloud backup" option is not intrinsic to the drive, but an add-on service provided by Dropbox and facilitated by WD software that a user may choose to run on an attached computer (I don't personally use or recommend that others use WD software). These drives are nothing more than a WD drive, in an enclosure, with a single USB 3.0 connection. If you are looking for "cloud" capability, other product options do exist. I do hope that WD changes its description of drives such as this in future marketing.
Review: A Nice Solution to the XBox One Storage Shortage. - NOTE: THIS REVIEW WILL COVER USE ON THE XBOX ONE ONLY. As X1 owners will understand, the internal hard drive isn't anywhere large enough to hold many games, now hitting the 30GB range. Just by installing 3 games, over 30% of my space was used. Not good, so an alternative was necessary. I chose the My Book line over the My Passport because I wanted the unit to stand as it's shown in the picture, which is necessary due to my setup. The My Book stands about 2x higher than the console vertically, but can also be laid atop horizontally, if one chooses. The unit requires additional power, so be prepared to find another outlet. The built-in transformer makes for a larger plug, so if you intend to plug into a surge protector, you will need to be aware this may not fit among other plugs due to its size. I've only had this unit for about 2 days, but so far, it's working perfectly. For XBox One owners, here's some basic information: -When you connect the drive and turn on the console, you will need to go into Settings - Manage Storage to prepare the unit. The console will automatically detect the new USB drive. -You will need to format the drive before you can use it. Start the process. The console will ask you to name the device, if you wish to do so (I named mine Pipboy 3000). The format takes less than one minute. -The final question will ask you if you want to use the device as the primary drive. I recommend this option since every download and save will go to the external drive rather than the internal drive. You can always change this option at a later time. Transferring (moving) games from the hard drive to the ext drive is pretty easy and straightforward. Ryse was the only game that took a while, but that's because it's 30GB in size. Despite the size, it still moved in less than 4 minutes. It's important to note the drive speed is irrelevant here. The 5400 RPM isn't going to be used to its maximum since the USB 3.0 is what will control the speed of data transfer. That said, I did not notice any additional time being added to loading screens (Assassin's Creed IV). If you're looking for additional space, I recommend this unit. Remember: this is only valid for the XBox One through experience. PS4 owners should do more reading to ensure the drive will perform as expected. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a RED, GREEN, or BLACK drive?  what's in it?**
A: Still no guarantee what will be inside but WD is dropping the Green line and merging it with the Blue. Two drives I purchased in Dec., 2015 contained Blue 5400 RPM drives.

**Q: 7200rpm or 5400rpm?**
A: I think that the HDD spins at 7200rpm. I do know that accessing information on this WD My Book HDD is as seamless (and quick) as my computer's HDD which does spin at 7200rpm.

**Q: Does the included backup program compress the files, or can you search backup and get a single file without doing restore?**
A: unless you tell it to compress, the files will look like the original ones. When it asks just tell it to open file folders.

**Q: Can you remove the drive from inside the enclosure?**
A: You can but you will void the warranty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ USB desktop drives
*by S***I on July 31, 2014*

time to buy another one! I was worried this woudl arrive DOA .. that these precise instruments were too delicate to be tossed around by ups or usps. but it arrived.. and worked .. and is working fine.. 4 TB (3.75TB) is nice. They hold so much info tho.. a failure would be catastrophic so i'm going to buy one just to back up stuff i already have. (the only failure i have had with these so far is when i dropped one that was spinning 3feet onto hard surface.. it continued to work till powered off.. but it never booted again.. I have 4 variations of this on my desk.. and i will buy several more in the future.. only drawback (other than if you drop one that is powered) is that they sleep when not used.. so when you go to use them you have to wait 10 - 15 seconds for the drive to spin up. This is a noticeable irritation.. but preferred to having the drives fail sooner.. they all seem to run quiet and cool.. in my history of these things i have had one failure (other than my catastrophic droped one). but it was not the drive. it was it's power supply.. (i had the leftover power supply from the one i dropped tho so i was saved!) .. that reminds me i need to check on amazon for buying a backup power supply for these. (the one i dropped was my oldest and first drive 750GB.. its ps was higher amps than the newer ones.. the newest ones are these 4 TB versions. These are precision instruments and should NOT be moved while in use.. I Dont know if drives park themselves these days.. (remove heads from platters for transportation and handling) but i would always disconnect the drive in windows.. before handling it.. and even then only when power is off to it. the drives spin very fast and gyroscopic forces would probably ruin the drive if you just moved it around while spinning... and 4 TB of data is a LOT to lose! I have 5 of these now.. and will continue to buy them.. i love these drives. amazon has the best price too i think.
