I bought these to be Time Machine backup targets. Since I have an iMac I just had to format them to HFS+, which is required for Time Machine. They have been working great for the few weeks I’ve had them. I will update if I have problems. I like the 3-year warranty.

The 12 TB My Book external hard drive repeatedly lost connection with my Windows 10 PC. I returned the hard drive.

This is a fast and silent external drive with plenty of space. It seems to not get too hot as I have moved 9TB over on it. This drive seems like a big step-up from my elements drive.

Ok
Adriel Muller (verified owner) –
Never had an issue with them, but don’t use them as extensively as I do my premium drives. Mostly use these as deep duplicate back up and always work fine.

Bought for backup to my portable. Can be slightly slow, but otherwise fine.

If you are looking for a USB 3 outboard drive for your PC, look no further than WD. I’ve been using WD my book drives for 12 years now. I’ve run individual drives as long as 5 or 6 years, I’ve never experienced a failure. Now that 4 TB seems to be the minimum drive size, we all need to remember they need to be exFAT-formatted (Windows). While this provides access to the full 4 TB of the drive, the sector sizes are much larger than with NTFS, meaning the drive is wasteful of space if your average file size is small. Such is the price of progress.
