Western Digital My Book Essential Edition is a pillar of the WD external hard drive area for a number of years. In this article we take a look at the 1TB drive, which is the most popular product in the range. The model number is WDH1U10000E.
Above all, the drive is well packed and comes with a USB cable, AC adapter, quick guide and the drive. After unpacking the My Book Essential Edition 1 TB is looking for a great> Drive with a very slim-looking case. It will certainly look good on the desk and can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. Installation was easy, simply connect the data cable and power cable and the PC restart. Your computer operating system will recognize the drive automatically installs the necessary drivers without having to do something. The drive itself already comes with some trial software, consisting of backup and sync loading utilities. It is up to the user whether they feelNeed to install it, but they are not necessarily for the use of the drive. Please note that the Western Digital My Book comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty.
In My Book Essential use is very quiet and does not generate much heat to the housing to be only lukewarm, the touch, even after prolonged use. The only issue we found was the lack of a power button. The hard drive turns on with your PC, but it would be nice to switch it off if they do notrequired.
Western Digital comes factory in the FAT32 file system, the limitations on the maximum file size that can be stored, places formatted. The limit is 4 GB, so if you plan on using the WD for storing large files (video) files, for example, then you should consider reformatting to NTFS file system before using it. It is possible to convert intact the drive while keeping data, but it is much easier to do it before you use it. RightClicking on the drive in My Computer and use the "quick format" option is the best way to do this, and it should take only a few minutes. The full format option would take much longer, with the only difference being that the various sectors of the disk is checked for errors - something that is not required on a new drive. If you are using Linux (or Ubuntu) on your PC will be compatible with NTFS. For Mac users, the computer will sort theFormatting for you when you connect for the first time. WD usually not Mac versions of their products, which will have sorted out the formatting directly from the factory.
Transfer speeds are quite fast over USB 2.0 in and are on par with the competition with a 2GB file transfer in less than five minutes. The drive also works on the USB 1.1 interface, but much more slowly than earnings. There is no support for the upcoming USB 3.0 system.
Overall, I would definitelyrecommended that the WD My Book Essential Edition 1 TB.
