Western Digital My Book Essential

I bought one of the My Book Essentials for my wife's business as she needed a reliable and non-tech way to back up her business files. I hadn't done any research into this particular drive at the time so I guess we got lucky! This is a simply fantastic USB drive for a number of reasons. Here's what we've found with it.

First of all it's very easy to set up. You just take it out of the drive and plug it in. It appears as a drive you can use normally. The other thing that's really good about this drive is how quiet it is. There's no difference between it being off or on noise wise!

Although I often say it's not important how a USB drive looks, it's worth noting the design here. These drives look very impressive on your desk! They're tiny too - the size of a paperback novel. And you can put more than one next to each other as you need more storage. This is a seriously good little external USB drive with a lot of storage for under £60.
