Review : Mybook 3tb usb 3 Next Generation.
I decided to pick up the new Western Digital 3tb drives with the new usb 3 interface before the Vat rise.
Initial impressions of the drive is that it is the exact same size as the previous Mybook. However, the difference is the new usb3 cable going into the drive has a flat head. Also the drive for the first time for along time comes with a u.k power plug. No more swapping out and clicking in the u.k plug for the European one or finding the u.k plug connector missing.
The drive i received was stated as been made in Thailand. The connectors were in line and the power on button though in the same place felt more solid clicking in. Hopefully the poor quality control of the drives in the old usb2 Mybook drives has been fixed with these new drives.

On powering on the drive a single light comes on which is a lot less distracting then the previous drives.
The drive has Smartware software on the drive but is not installed completely you must initiate it if it does...
