Nice external Storage, Good price!
Mar. 4, 2013Great price for USB 3.0 2 TB. I like that there is a power button and the free software is nice too.
Great Product
Jan. 29, 2013I have purchased two "My Books" from Adorama. First, Adorama is my online choice. They are information specific, very helpful, I've never had to return a product and they ship fast. My Book is a super...

Nice quality for the price.
Jan. 20, 2013No issues with this brand yet. Would definately recommend to anyone!
So far so good
Jan. 19, 2013Given that I haven't been running this drive more than a month, it's great so far. The price for 2TB was very good and it's super easy to use. Plug and play pretty much. It didn't come loaded with too...
PERFECT ADDITION TO MY PC
Jan. 18, 2013it does what i wanted it to do protects my computer with back up files and since i am wireless the encryption is also a nice feature
I would give it one star if I could
Jan. 6, 2013I posted this to WD facebook site as well -- the 2TB My Book is not a good product -- it does not deserve even one star. I have sent 3 emails to support and nothing -- pretty discouraging -- wish ther...
Easy to setup & to use
Nov. 27, 2012I bought this for backups and storing videos & pictures. It works fine and I use WIndows backup instead of the continuous backup software that came with the drive.
Great for the price
Nov. 26, 2012Western Digital products have always been top of my list. This one is worth the money.
This external hard drive works like a charm
Nov. 25, 2012I have used this hard drive continuously since I purchased it and it has worked without fail. I owned several external hardrives before this and they kept failing. The company would replace them but w...
Bad Drive
Nov. 21, 2012Have had this product for 6 months, failed last week. Multiple bad sectors, bad MBR, etc. Spent over 48 hours trying various means of recovery, all failed. The disk isn't even detected by any of my co...
Excellent HD
Nov. 18, 2012This is a really good HD. I hook it up to my tv to watch movies.
Overall, a nice drive for backups
Nov. 10, 2012After having a hard-drive crash recently I was reminded of the importance of having a current backup, and an external drive that can hold it all. This drive has fit the bill, easy to install and use, ...
Was recommended by Dish
Nov. 10, 2012I bought this based on Dish's recommendation to add an external harddrive to it's dvr to gain more space for recorded programs. I left town for a week and when I came back, my Dish receiver would not ...
Good for backing up data
Nov. 9, 2012It does what I intended to have it do, back up my data.
Perfect!
Nov. 8, 2012Very nice product! Fast, nice design, huge capacity, affordable.
Easy and fast
Nov. 2, 2012Looking for more storage. This was a bargain. Love the storage space
Great, fast, reliable product.
Oct. 31, 2012As a photographer, backing up to DVDs is too slow, time consuming and is no longer a viable answer. WD drives are high capacity, fast and reliable...and cheap enough to use as a storage alternative.
great deal
Oct. 30, 2012This drive just does what it is supposed to do. I took it out of the box, plugged it in, and Time Machine took over. Now I don't have to do anything. I hardly notice it's there. But my data will be th...
Worth the bucks!
Oct. 28, 2012I purchased this WD Hard Drive as a backup HD. It runs great and it's silent. Staples matched the price for me online so I was able to save $10 on it. I save all my RAW and 1080HD footage on it. Runs ...
Works for me
Oct. 27, 2012Quiet, great design & easy to use. Used on Windows XP, Plug + Play.
Easy to use
Oct. 26, 2012So far so good. I bought it to use with my Dish Network DVR and it was extremely easy to set up and get running.
Great for storage
Oct. 17, 2012Great for storage of media files. I have a 500GB, a 1TB and now this and it does a wonderful job.
works fine. not a heavy user.
Oct. 14, 2012I only use about 500 gb and add a few gigs each week.
Great External Hard Drive
Oct. 11, 2012I've had this drive for about a year and haven't had any issues with it. I only use it to store movies and think it's great. I like the fact that Western Digital is keeping the same design on these dr...
Good Product
Sep. 18, 2012We received the 2TB My book hooked it up and it worked fantastically. There were easy to follow instructions and we were able to back up everything on the computer overnight. We have only had it for a...
Poor Product
Sep. 12, 2012I bought this product a while ago and, at first, it worked well. The problem that occurred with this product was when I had to disconnect it from my laptop and reconnect it at a later date for updates...
Totally Amazed
Sep. 8, 2012After having lost many multiple TBs of data due to WD HDD usb ports falling off, I bought a couple of these Western Digital 2TB drives. I learned the hard way to have multiple backup copies of Everyth...
Pretty easy to set up, gets the job done
Sep. 6, 2012Bottom line, great product for the price. Does what it is supposed to. I use it to store all my music (which is a lot)! Takes a couple of minutes to set up and then your off to the races!
Formatting.... use Win 7 or leave it alone.
Sep. 3, 2012Performance can always be improved. I want per cpu clock cycle access to tertiary storage, one can only dream. (SSD's barely deserve a rating of Good for performance, where's giga(tera?)byte/s?) Back ...
Easy to use and setup, great value for $
Aug. 31, 2012Very satisfied with this Hard Drive. It was setup in less than 2 minutes out of the box, and its Mac friendly. Speeds are good, and its price was even better.
Well Designed Drives
Aug. 30, 2012This is my 3rd Western Digital drive; each has been an upgrade to expand size rather than a replacement for a problem, so I am pleased with overal performance. This latest drive was well priced for th...
Great item for the price
Aug. 29, 2012Overall, this is a great external hard drive and I am really happy with my purchase. I use this more so for movies and connect it to my TV directly. Streams well and I love it.
WD 2TB My Book Essential USB 3.0
Aug. 23, 2012My little 320 GB backup drive became full, so I opted for this larger one. This is presently doing the job, with much room for my photos, music, and document backup files. It is built to stand alongsi...
Fast, whisper quiet external drive.
Aug. 19, 2012Very nice, spacious drive. Great price at Staples. Very fast w hen connected to a USB 3 port. Per user manual, the power switch will only turn the drive off if their software tools are installed - not...
It does what I bought it to do!
Aug. 16, 2012It does exactly what I bought it to do! The preceding text says it all! There isn't any more to say! Telling me the review is too short is not appropriate. If you want, don't publish the review!
Reliable and Easy to use
Aug. 11, 2012As a non-computer wiz this external hard drive was easy to set-up and get running (once I realized I needed more memory on my personal pc to allow the hard drive's program to download). The hard drive...
the worst HD i have seen.. did not work.
Aug. 8, 2012I had to ship it back to the US. did not work. what a shame.. I lost my money.
It's good. Buy it.
Aug. 8, 2012This is my 2nd purchase of this device. No machine is perfect but I've been very happy with these WD hard drives.
Completely unreliable
Aug. 5, 2012I have purchased a number of products in the "My Book" line over the years. Three (out of six purchased) have died, losing valuable data in the process. Then why did I buy six? Because they worked fin...
Great External HDD
Aug. 1, 2012I need more storage and this fit the bill exactly.
Using it as added hard drive on Dish Network receiver. Works great!
so far so good
Jul. 26, 2012Bought this drive to use as a back-up location for my daily data and monthly system back ups. Although the drive will connect to a USB 2.0 port I found that it took 18 hrs for a system backup. Since t...
