5 Best Portable External Hard Drives

4. Western Digital My Book 3.0

The Western Digital My Book series is one of the longest running product brand names in the storage market. The My Book 3.0 has the same glossy black book like covering as Western Digital's other external hard drives. The main draw of the My Book 3.0 is its super speed USB 3.0 interface, which manages to break it free from the speed bottlenecks faced by current USB 2.0 external hard drives.

It is a sleek enclosure around two inches wide and seven inches tall. The top, bottom and back are vented to allow air to flow over the internal drive, but the front and sides have a matte black finish. With super speeds it feel entirely like you are using an internal hard disk and not the external drive, it is pretty fast that you can use for both storage and for daily purposes. It has a pretty high price for the super speed USB 3.0, it is available at the price of 9,015 for 3 TB.
