My Book Essential External Hard Drives
1.5 TB, USB 2.0

Our best-selling My Book external drive is an elegant, high-capacity storage solution for all the chapters of your digital life. Our latest edition now features visual, easy-to-use, automatic, continuous backup software and drive lock security protection. At last, beauty, brains, and simplicity together.


Smaller, sleeker, more streamlined design -
We've made these award-winning drives even smaller, sleeker, and more elegant. As always, this book-like shape takes up minimal space on your desk and allows two or more My Book drives to nestle neatly together like volumes on a shelf.

WD SmartWare -
See your life safe in one place.

Drive lock -
Gain peace of mind knowing that your data is protected from unauthorized access or theft with password protection and 256-bit hardware-based encryption.

Illuminated capacity gauge -
See at a glance how much space is available on your drive.

USB 2.0 interface -
A simple connection that offers convenience and compatibility among multiple computers.

Power miser -
My Book external drives are designed to save energy. WD GreenPower Technology® lowers internal drive power consumption by up to 30%, a sleep mode reduces power during idle times, and a power-saving feature turns the drive on and off with your computer.

Planet friendly -
We designed a small retail box from recycled materials to minimize waste. We encourage you to recycle it.
