My Book 4 TB External USB 3.0 Drive
(WDBACW0040HBK)
Pros: Compact; quiet.
Cons: Shiny finish is a fingerprint magnet; no on/off switch.
Other Comments: I haven't had the drive long enough to provide any comments on reliability–which is my primary consideration. After a year or so, it will be possible to provide some useful data on that subject.

BuyDig''s Western Digital My Book 4 TB External USB 3.0 Drive
By sierrawren on
April 20, 2014
Review submitted for
Western Digital
My Book 4 TB External USB 3.0 Drive
(WDBACW0040HBK)
Pros: What an unbeatable value. An incredibly inexpensive buy. Works as expected ...flawlessly. Just power it up and plug in the hard drive's USB into a vacant slot on your computer. Comes complete with useful WD software tools preloaded on the hard drive. Installation of WD software to identify the drive to the Windows OS and the installation of monitoring apps automatically begins the moment you plug it in.
Cons: This external hard drive is not meant to be truly portable, as it was designed to be used as a desktop model to serve as a massive repository or local archival storage for all the data that you want to occasionally back up for all the thousands of media files in your workstation tower, or for your laptop when it's plugged into its docking station.

Pros:
Cons: Non-standard cable, Disappointing Speed, Only 1gbsec
Other Comments: Compare to USB 3.0 spec of 5Gb/sec, this hard drive is only transferring at 1Gb/sec. I was at least expecting 2.5Gb/sec since that's how fast my Buffalo drive performs.

My Book 4 TB External USB 3.0 Drive
(WDBACW0040HBK)
Pros: Tech Support Helped A Lot, Can Use With Multiple Pcs
Cons: Documentation Confusing, Plastic Case Was Gouged
Other Comments: I bought this intending to backup 3 different PCs - 2 Windows 7 and 1 XP SP3. Worked easily and flawlessly. However, plastic case was severely gouged in new, shrink wrapped box. Seller confirmed it was not a refurb, but it looked like it to me. Now, I need to erase everything, send it back, and redo the backups, because I'm concerned about the reliability of the unit, given the scratches, that it might be a refurb, or otherwise compromised with drops or other mishandling.
Yes, I recommend this product

My Book 4 TB External USB 3.0 Drive
(WDBACW0040HBK)
Pros: Speed, Quality, price, Brand
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this at a great price, paid a bit more than a similar Seagate product that was going for $20 or so cheaper at the time but I always have the best luck with Western Digital. I already had a 2TB My Book when I bought this and loved it so much and saw this 4TB for a great price so had to have it. Great build quality, and USB3 speed is very fast. Works perfect, couldn't have asked for better, highly recommended!
