5.0 out of 5 stars Western Digital My Book 3.0 - 1 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, September 7, 2010

This review is from: Western Digital My Book 3.0 - 1 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
My new computer motherboard came with two of the new USB 3.0 sockets.

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64x with a 16 GB DRAM and a Quad core Pentium i7 and an Intel Solid State Drive for my C: drive.

After unpacking the new MyBook drive, I connected the special USB cable that one needs to use. This special USB cable comes in the package with the MyBook drive. The end of the cable that plugs into the socket on the MyBook is "different", so you won't make a mistake and use an older USB 2 cable by accident. I then powered the MyBook drive up. Very quiet. Good thing it has an LED so you know it is on.

Finally, I started the computer and booted into Windows 7. Nothing to do but watch it boot. I now have One TB of incredibly fast and quiet disk storage. Win 7 assigned the USB drive a letter (F: on my computer) but I changed that drive letter assignment (using control panel) to make the MyBook my U: drive so that as I added and removed other...

This review is from: Western Digital My Book 3.0 - 2 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive (Personal Computers)
I own at least 6 external hard drives to store photos and movies and have LaCie, Seagate, Iomega, and Western Digital.
I've had catastrophic drive failures with Seagate and LaCie, but none so far with Western Digital.

This drive is very small for a 2 TB drive, much smaller than the previous generation USB 2.0 2Tb version.

It comes with an external power cable and a USB 3.0 cable.
The USB 3.0 will also work with a USB 2.0 port on your older computers but will run at the slower USB 2.0 speed.

First, this drive works great right out of the box. You don't need to install any of the crap software it comes with. Just drag and drop the files you want into the drive. A lot of complaints about these drive come from the software which you really don't need at all.

USB 3.0 from this drive works really fast. Paired with my newer motherboard with a USB 3.0 connector this thing can downloads movies and huge files in a fraction of the... Read more

Cable connections did not fit well and therefore didn't work consistently.
After I bought new cables it works fine.
