Powering up the WD My Book (2016) however makes me realize one thing – there’s no activity LED. Its weight will make it unpleasant to be carried around – and let’s not forgot the other part to make the My Book function – its power adapter. The WD My Book (2016) is again, not meant to be used as an external hard disk. Though inconvenient to carry around, the true magnificence is in its speeds. Carrying it out means you’ll not only need the micro USB 3.0 cable, but its power jack too. It needs its own external power source to function. As I’ve mentioned in the unboxing video, it’s not meant to be carried around like an external hard disk. On a side note, it weighs in at nearly 1 kg. It’s literally a dust and fingerprint magnet! Just have a look at those white specks everywhere!Īnyway, the bottom half is very resistant to dust and fingerprint, so you can at least grab its lower half if there’s any need to carry it around. This two-part design actually comes together very nicely – and the only real issue I have is the highly glossy top half of the enclosure. The brand new design has two aspects – firstly there’s the highly glossy piano black top half of the enclosure, and secondly there’s the matte black lower half with what I can say is WD’s iconic line pattern.
As a piece of storage device that isn’t meant to be carried around like an external hard disk, it can sit on a desk and look pretty. The WD My Book (2016) comes with WD’s brand new design philosophy – and it rings the feeling of being refreshed. That includes the AC power jack with interchangeable wall plugs, a 1.5 meter micro USB 3.0 cable, a quick start guide, and a user manual. All in all, the brand new WD My Book (2016) comes with a rather simple set of accessories.
