Western Digital My Book Essential 2 TB, External Hard Drive
I have several of these. The only issue was one with a dead circuit board which I replaced with a used one at a cost of $9. Western Digital will NOT supply parts for their drives, don't even ask them.

Top critical review
no support
there are no written instructions for installation or use of this product. hooking it up is easy and fool proof; the power light came on and remains on as long as my computer is on. I cannot tell it is storing data or not, how do I access stored data if my main hard drive fails. what can I do to verify this product is working properly? how do I retrieve information from it?

Super fast with USB 3.0, but the software impedes the ease of use
I bought this drive to serve as backup for two computers, and for the use of USB 3.0. To my surprise, the drive is actually kinda slow. I'm not sure what the spindle speed is, but I would guess it's probably only 5400rpm. However, that is not to say its always slow. For some reason, Western Digital seems to have designed this drive only to be used with USB 3.0. The 2.0 speeds float around 10MB/sec (despite the fact that 2.0 can handle up to 50MB/sec). That said, I've been able to get around 100MB/sec and a max of 320MB/sec with 3.0, thus my belief that WD intended consumers to use 3.0 with this drive. In addition, I would not recommend this drive to someone who truly wants to use it as a "portable" drive (ie plug n play between lots of computers) due to the fact that for the drive to run at full-speed you must load a special driver onto every machine. The annoyance comes from the fact that you must reload/reinstall this driver every time. Furthermore, if you run the included WD Backup Software, you must then use that software to eject the drive before you can unplug. Another slight annoyance is the existence of a seemingly non-functional power button on the back. I've never had to use it, and when I've tried, it seems not to do anything. Perhaps mine is faulty, or perhaps WD had some inane purpose for this button, but decided to leave it as a vestigial feature.Read full review

Great build with EXCELLENT components. works with DIS to record store and play content
This is one of the only units that will work with the DISH network as an additional drive to both store and play. This unit has a Superior build for extended use in both cooling and HD components. My other identical model contained the top rated HD wd black 2g drive. So did this purchase.

Good drive, ok software, nothing to write home. Fast transfers.
Basic hard drive. Does what it promises, good transfers and easy (but simple) encryption. I was optimistic about the western digital backup software, but it does not do a great job so I use Carbon Copy Cloner on my Mac and just windows backup on my PC.
