For those curious, getting the physical drive out of the enclosure probably involves destroying the case. Inside the shiny black case is a WD Red, and 8TB in the review model, and the electronics to enable this SATA mechanism to be interfaced to USB. This version doesn’t even have a power on/off switch, so the drive becomes active the moment it is connected.Īlongside the USB Type-B Micro connection on the back, and the barrel power socket, the only other external feature of note is a Kensington lock slot, enabling the My Book to be physically secured. Setting up the drive is remarkably simple it’s a matter of attaching the provided power pack and the USB cable to the computer. Once static charged by the removal of the protection, dust is attracted to the My Book like wasps to a family picnic. That said, the designers love of shiny black plastic that comes with clear plastic to be peeled off isn’t without its issues.
And, the two-tone wavy/flat styling still looks good on this latest version.
