  • Abstract:  Still, if you don’t care about bundled software and just want wicked fast external speeds without the limited availability and extra power cord of eSATA, the My Book 3.0 rocks.

  • Move over eSATA, the speedy USB 3.0 is here to replace you! With speeds that feel entirely like you are using an internal hard disk, the Western Digital My Book 3.0 1TB can be used for both storage and for daily purposes. However, you'll pay a huge pr...

  • The Western Digital My Book 3.0 is fast and is bundled with a USB 3.0 PCI Express card; it runs cool and quiet

  • Western Digital's My Book 3.0 is a great external-storage addition for desktop computer users. However, notebook users have better choices. Read full review See all prices

  • USB 3.0 is much faster than USB 2.0, Highperformance 7200RPM drive hidden inside, Includes PCIe controller card,
  • USB 3.0 performed slower than native SATA,
  • The Super-Speed USB 3.0 interface on the Western Digital MyBook 3.0 proved to be much faster than its predecessor. It offered speeds nearly four times faster than USB 2.0, but still fell short compared to the drives native SATA 3.0 Gbps connection. It is hard to say if it is the NEC-based Super-Speed USB 3.0 controller card or the interface itself, but some part of it acted as a bottleneck for th

  • USB 3.0 speed removes 33MB/s transfer limit; includes PCIE adapter card.
  • Don’t lose that USB SuperSpeed cable! No encryption or backup software.

  • The new WD My Book is fast, good-looking and supports a high level of encryption
  • The drive doesn't support USB-C, is a bit slower than its competitors (with a higher price tag) and lacks additional features to have it stand apart
  • Though good-looking, capacious and fast, the WD My Book has no must-have special features...

  • Abstract:  The first USB 3.0-based external hard drives aim at eliminating the USB 2.0 bottleneck (that hovered around 30 MB/s) with enough bandwidth to outperform the fastest mechanical disks. A-Data, Buffalo, and WD do battle for maximum performance. USB 3.0 ha...
