Review: Great quality drive, looks good, fast read/write speeds and plug and play. - Purchased on 17th June 2019 for £87.49. I’ve been waiting for the right moment to add some storage to my PC so when this 6TB hard drive went on offer I went for it. I already have a 5TB Western Digital Elements external hard drive but it’s been really low on space for quite a while so it was time to get another one. The hard drive arrived well packaged with plenty of protection. It came complete with a UK power adapter and USB 3.0 cable. I love the look of this hard drive, the mixture of glossy and matte panels works really well and the rectangular design with the ridges looks very stylish. I actually prefer this design to the rounded design of my Elements hard drive. I literally plugged it in and it was good to go, it already had the latest firmware and was pre-formatted so I could see it on my PC. I ran the CrystalDiskMark v6 hard drive benchmark utility and as you can see from my pictures it scores an impressive sequential read/write score of over 190MB/s which is pretty impressive for a mechanical hard drive. The usable space on my Windows PC shows up as 5.45TB which is down to the conversion of the units and is perfectly normal and the same for all hard drives. Overall, this was a great buy at a great price and I would throughly recommend it if your looking to add some additional space to your PC. Review: Extremely reliable - I first bought one of these 13 years ago. It has been in constant daily use for that entire time. Lately, it has shown some concerning anomalies, so this one is replacing it. Even though it is an older model, reasonably slow by todays standards, this model is trusted by photographers everywhere as extremely reliable. It will power down after a few minutes of non use to complete silence and will take a few seconds to power up on activation and runs as just a whisper. It is a work-horse hard drive. ## Features - The My Book drive is trusted desktop storage designed to complement your personal style with a massive amount of space to store your photos, videos, music, and documents. Equipped with password protection and perfectly paired with backup software, My Book desktop storage helps keep your files safe. - Easy to Use. Ready to use with Mac and Windows computers right out of the box, so you can start transferring files, saving your memories, and backing up right away. It also comes with all the software you need to help protect your data. - Complete Backup. My Book desktop storage comes equipped with backup software to help make sure your photos, videos, music, and documents don’t get lost. You can set it to run automatically to your schedule.

We see drive sizes at TB but drives see it as TiB. Converting 8TB to 8TiB is 7.27596TB Converting 6TB to 6TiB is 5.45697TB Converting 4TB to 4TiB is 3.63798TB Hope this helps. **Q: Is this compatible with XP** A: XP? surely not. **Q: By 'full system backup' does this include a system image & programmes etc as well as docs, pics, music ?** A: Well, as its just an external drive, there's no restriction on what you can store subject to capacity constraints. HOW and WHAT to store is entirely up to you. Are you actually asking about software to accomplish these tasks??? If so, WD let you download a freebie copy of Acronis True image from the WD support site. Whether this can also be used for file backup/restore is not something I can comment on but is it doesn't, you could use the Microsoft supplied tools (with win 7, 8 and 10) to do this. Personally, I prefer Macrium Reflect. Although it can do file and folder backup as well as imaging disks, I don't bother with file backup. I do a full system image once per week, then differential images for the rest of the week. Given this, there's no point in performing file/folder backups since Macrium images can be mounted as temporary drives and the files/folders that are needed to recover from eg accidental deletions can be extracted from the mounted image. I believe, but cant swear to Acronis True Image having analogous capabilities but I am referring to the full product - whether the WD freebie version includes this capability is another matter! **Q: hi will this work with ps4 pro thanks** A: Confirming, works pretty nicely with my PS4 Pro. One caveat though: The hard drive may not properly switch off if the console is left on standby mode. Power the console off completely and you are fine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality drive, looks good, fast read/write speeds and plug and play. *by E***E on 7 July 2019* Purchased on 17th June 2019 for £87.49.

Even though it is an older model, reasonably slow by todays standards, this model is trusted by photographers everywhere as extremely reliable.

It is a work-horse hard drive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked out of the box. *by M***H on 14 December 2023* I bought this drive as the previous WD drive I use for system/data backups threw a wobbly after a power cut. Straight out of the box I connected it up and fired up the iMac backup software. After choosing this drive as the backup target the system formatted it and I ran the first backup. My backups come out at just under 2gb so this 4gb drive will have ample space for the process. It just sits thee doing it’s thing until I need to recover a file. These drives are reliable and last for a good time the last one for five years until a rogue heater dropped out our RCD and caused an issue with it. I am able to read from it so will still have nearly six months of previous backups to hand if needs be. I would recommend this drive especially at its current price point. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 6TB My Book external hard drive, Desktop HDD with Password Protection, USB 3.0, SuperSpeed USB, software for device management, backup, hardware encryption, Black - UGREEN Hard Drive Cable Braided USB 3.0 Micro B Lead 2M 5Gbps SuperSpeed 4TB Max Compatible with External Hard Drive, WD Element, Seagate Expansion, LaCie Rugged, Toshiba Canvio, Maxtor (2M) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/48726036-wd-6tb-my-book-external-hard-drive-desktop-hdd-password](https://www.desertcart.is/products/48726036-wd-6tb-my-book-external-hard-drive-desktop-hdd-password) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
