Setting up the drive is remarkably simple it’s a matter of attaching the provided power pack and the USB cable to the computer. Once static charged by the removal of the protection, dust is attracted to the My Book like wasps to a family picnic. That said, the designers love of shiny black plastic that comes with clear plastic to be peeled off isn’t without its issues.
And, the two-tone wavy/flat styling still looks good on this latest version.
#WD MY BOOK 3TB USB 3.0 EXTERNAL DESKTOP HARD DRIVE SERIES#
When Western Digital stopped trying to make the My Book series look like actual books, it heralded a vast improvement in aesthetics. We found the 8TB review model could be bought for as little as £167.42 in the UK and $149.99 in the US. Our research reveals that online retailers offer substantially better value. “Prices provided by Western Digital are manufacturer suggested retail prices only and are set according to local market conditions (including tax and exchange rates) and the local competitive landscape” When we asked Western Digital about these discrepancies and received this reply,
When converted for the exchange rate those prices seem excessively high compared to the USA pricing of $89.99 (3TB), $109.99 (4TB), $134.99 (6TB), $159.99 (8TB), $209.99 (10TB), $249.99 (12TB) and $279.99 (14TB).Īnd, in the UK the best value per TB is the 6TB and 14TB models, where stateside the 8TB and 14TB hold those honours.
Where in the USA you can purchase a 3TB model, elsewhere the start point for this range is 4TB, with 6TB, 8TB, 10TB, 12TB and 14TB options.
