In other terms, it looks a lot less like an actual book now however, it still uses a 3.5' HDD. The new WD My Book is both smaller and uses very different design than the older model, as it now sports angled corners compared to the rounded front panel used before. The My Book desktop solution is back by a 2-year limited warranty starting at $129.99 for the 3TB. You can also further protect your files using the included password protection and hardware encryption. Off-premise backups are sent to the cloud, which is useful for increased protection and disaster recovery. More specifically, the handy backup automatically protects all of your files on your computer with on-premise backups to a WD drive as primary storage. We’ve touched on this software in many of our WD reviews, indicating that it allows users easily manage all their content via a clean, user-friendly process. The company’s automatic backup solution, WD Backup, is also included. The newly designed external storage solutions feature a new modern, sleek-looking build that is noticeably smaller than the previous model as well as a generous 8TB in maximum capacity. WD has refreshed several of their highly popular portable and external storage solutions, including the My Passport, My Passport for Mac, and the My Book, the latter which we will be looking at for this review.
