This is no surprise given that Western Digital bought Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, developers of the Helioseal technology.
WD MY BOOK EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE WHITE LIGHT SERIAL
Through the ventilation grilles, we can see the two serial numbering labels on the end of the drive – this layout is very much a tradition for Hitachi drives. The drive and inclusions are packed neatly and safely. That’s new and seemingly rather unnecessary. Opening the box, I was greeted with a surprise – the flap asks us to follow them on social media. This unit is model WDBBGB01000HBK-NESN with the part number suffixed in -NA, presumably for North American market. The sides of the box are rather plain, with the underside carrying the regulatory compliance logos, trademark information and the unique information about the unit including serial number. The rear carries a short blurb of features, contents and compatibility information. It advertises a 10TB capacity, 3-year warranty with backup and security features. The front of the box portrays with drive, with its “ribbed” mid-section being part of the diagonal stripe design. It seems that WD has gone all bright and high-contrast with its packaging design, with an almost fluorescent green, white and black colour scheme. It was a bit of an impulse, but rarely are such high-capacity drives so cheap.Īs usual, none of my precious data hits any drive until it’s passed my commissioning tests which include a number of benchmarks, so I thought I’d post them up and call this a quick review. Being the thrifty person that I am, when I saw news online of a Western Digital My Book 10Tb external hard drive being sold for just under AU$250 delivered from Amazon, I couldn’t pass up the offer.
