Western Digital My Book Essential Edition External Hard Drive 1 TB Review

The My Book Essential Edition external hard drive form Wester Digital(WD), is easy to use and install. However, It was very slow to back up my laptop computer, Taking around 4 to 5 hours to do so. Using any other programs wile the back up is happening was another issue since it slowed down the programs so much I decided to stop using them. It's fair to say I was mostly using the internet when this was going on.The other problem I saw was that, for some reason my lap top kept shutting down wile the backing  up was being performed. Even after all of this the file were backed up successfully. Over all it's a god product if you don't mind waiting and not using your PC or laptop while backing them up, otherwise you are not going to be pleased. The looks for this driver is a pleasing one. Being compare to that of a book, it finds many who will like it. Its small and non intrusive if you are the typical person who has a clutter in the desk, making it easy to store any were in or on the desk. it's sturdy, the case is made of metal so it seem capable of taking a beating. It serves my purposes fine and I have enough storage to handle loads of files,which is all I was looking for.
