Rubber feet, on the base of the unit, help absorb any external vibrations while connections for power via a 12V adapter and USB 3.0, with support for USB 2.0, are located in a recessed area on the rear of the unit. Weighing 1.01kg, the My Book unit has dimensions of 171 x 139 x 49 mm (H x D x W) as it combines a stylish outer shell with a hard drive. Adding a touch of style to its appearance, the shell combines a lacquered top half with a patterned matte bottom section. The My Book hard drive is encased within a black protective, plastic shell. My 3TB model was available from the Western Digital store priced at £59.99 which bears no comparison with the drive I was looking for in my earlier recount of past memories.Īs this drive is meant to be clearly visible when positioned externally to the system box, its appearance does need to be important.
With capacities of 3, 4, 6 and 8TB, this family of hard drives come with automatic backup software. It was a 3TB model and formed part of the Western Digital My Book family of products. Rather then the internal type I was looking for years ago, this drive was an external drive. The reason for my question and my personal reminiscence is the result of a hard drive arriving for review. As my budget was around £200, my choice of possible drive was limited to those drives with a maximum capacity of 200MB (this is not a typing mistake as MB was the current standard at that time). Do you remember the price and capacity of the internal hard drive that was to be included in a new or upgraded system? In my case I can distinctly remember scouring through adverts in several computer magazines for a hard drive that would increase my computer's storing capacity.
