The only problem I had in testing the My Book Essential was very erratic read performance at the beginning of my testing. As an external drive, you’re more likely to be writing to the My Book Essential sequentially rather than throwing a more random workload at it. Random performance is significantly lower, presumably because of the translation that happens at the USB controller level. There’s very little sequential performance difference between the 3TB My Book Essential and the desktop Caviar Green. USB 3.0 continues to be a great interface for external storage. Western Digital My Book Essential 3TB (USB 2.0) Western Digital My Book Essential 3TB (USB 3.0) I’d say the tradeoff is worth it given the tremendous difference in heat however. Seagate is over 25% faster for sequential reads and writes over USB 3.0. The performance of the My Book Essential isn’t nearly as good as what we saw with the GoFlex Desk. WD’s SmartWare utility does let you seamlessly lock and unlock the drive across both Windows and OS X however.

Western Digital doesn’t bundle a NTFS Mac driver so you’ll need to reformat the NTFS formatted drive for write use on a Mac (or supply your own NTFS driver for OS X).

Like Seagate, Western Digital supplies software with the drive to manage the drive and backups. Here’s the drive at idle and after over an hour of use: A pair of rubber feet prop the drive up a few millimeters off of the ground to allow air in from below.The ventilation story is a lot better than what I encountered with the GoFlex Desk.Īs a result, temperature is a non-issue. To make sure the drive never gets too hot Western Digital has a grate that runs along the top, spine and bottom of the My Book Essential. Remember the Caviar Green is a 4 platter sub-6000 RPM drive compared to the 5-platter 7200 RPM design in the GoFlex Desk, so temperatures should inherently be lower. The first thing I wanted to test with the My Book Essential was how well it kept the drive cool. Obviously USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 on the host connector side. Unlike Seagate’s GoFlex Desk, the My Book Essential doesn’t have an option for interfaces: USB 3.0 is all you get.
