  • The WD My Book 4TB drive is available for Rs 14,999 which gives us a cost per GB of Rs 4.02. Looking at the capacity this is an economical drive. Of course, the speeds aren't the best considering it houses a 5700RPM drive. But then again, for someone loo...

  • Good Performance, USB 3.0 interface, Full capacity is available outofthebox, hassle free
  • Glossy surface attracts fingerprints
  • The performance of this My Book 3.0 TB drive is appreciation worthy, being a 5400rpm HDD inside a USB 3.0 enclosure. The platter density does the rest and lands up giving it some of the best speeds seen on a spinning USB 3.0 drive. ...

  • Very fast speeds; Nice design; backward compatible
  • Expensive; No backup button; No USB 3.0 card included
  • The WD My Book Essential 3 TB proves that USB 3.0 is the best thing that has happened to external backup drives in a very long time. Along with the transfer speeds as good as an internal SATA hard drive or an eSATA hard drive, there is the convenience ...

  • The WD My Book Essential might prove to be essential if you're looking for large capacities in a smaller external casing. But it's not just a large tome in a small cover – the My Book Essential also has speedy transfers and nifty features that you'll enj...

  • Compared with other WD products, the WD My Book Essential has a longer USB cable which is really handy for an external drive that you don't want to carry often. For advanced computer users, the SmartWare can be annoying especially if you want more control...

  • Solid overall performance, Looks very appealing, WD SmartWare works seamlessly, USB 3.0 compliant, Build quality
  • A bit bulky
  • The 4TB Western Digital My Book Essential, as the name suggests, is a well thought out backup drive that just essentially does what it needs to do. It will let you back your files up seamlessly, without you even knowing it. – Provided that you set it up i...

  • Very fast; Quiet operations due to fanless design; Large 3TB capacity is good value for money,
  • Not recommended for anything other than storage & backup as it's running at 5400rpm
