Comments about Western Digital My Book Essential 2 TB External USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 drive:

Seems excellent except that it took forever to back-up my music collection. I didn't put this as a con since there are too many other factors to blame the slowness on this drive.

This was very simple to set up and works just as it is advertised. If I decide I need one for my older computer I would buy another but maybe one with less memory
