I have the new Airport Extreme, and I was looking at the Time Capsule from Apple, but I was hesitant at how much money they cost, and the fact that you can't upgrade their storage capabilities. So, I did some reading to find that you can add a USB hard drive to the Airport and get the same features. I limited my search to USB3.0 because many of my machines are connected with 1Gbps wired Ethernet, and I want the backups to be fast. Well, I am not disappointed. If I backup with WIFI it is actually not that bad, except the first backup, which is many GB in size. Otherwise the incremental backups are pretty quick, wired or not. So, this is a single 4TB hard drive in an external case. I can't believe this costs less than $150. It is amazing. Anyway, connected to my Airport the drive powers down when it is not in use, so that I know it will last a long time. It takes a few seconds to power up when I am ready, but this causes no real issues. The installation was a breeze. I plugged it into my Airport, opened the app. Went to the File Sharing and Disks tab, and added the disk. That was it. From the Mac I went to time machine and picked the shared disk as my backup, and it even recognizes it as a Time Capsule. I also use it as a network drive. Why not, it is HUGE, right? It is really quick, and has never caused me a problem. As a result, I get incremental backups on a near hourly basis. I can get the state of a file from days or weeks ago. I feel really safe with this. My old MacBook died, and I got the new MacBook Pro Retina, and I followed the restore from backup option, told it to not mess with the OS, just the apps and the saved files, and when it was done I had everything back. What more could you ask for. For under $150, the piece of mind I get for having 4TB worth of incremental backups is huge. I got the same drive and setup my parents to backup both of their computers on it. It is plenty big for this, too. They are thrilled. [...] Review: Another solid WD product - I purchased this drive largely based upon a specific need for a USB 3.0 product with 4TB of storage. I've owned many WD internal and external HD products over time and have not had any drive failures to date over many years. I purchased this drive specifically as a backup storage drive attached to a Synology 1813+ NAS unit. This required a reformat to EXT4 as the drive comes natively formated in NTFS. The Synology NAS schedules backup to this drive of selected folder shares using the "Time Backup" software available from Synology. I'm not utilizing any of the software included from WD with this drive (backup, cloud, etc.) as the Synology NAS has its own software for each of these purposes. The drive itself is similar in size to other My Book drives. The plastic casing is certainly not as nice as the aluminum finish on the WD My Book drives that I have for my Macs, but it is similar to the black of the Synology unit and overall looks good. The power adapter is reasonably sized (not a brick), and the unit comes with a USB 3.0 cord for use with its single USB 3.0/2.0 port. WD provides a 2-year warranty with this product. There are cheaper drives with similar specs available from other companies. However, having had drive failures with Seagate over the years, I'm unwilling to take chances with other options. It's important to backup your valued files, and WD drives have played a major role in my backup solutions over time. If I have issues with this drive, I'll update my review. This seems to be another winner from WD! Edit/Addendum: Following my review, another desertcart user asked me an excellent question, "Does the USB connection to the drive feel flimsy?" This is a very appropriate question given concerns raised with the prior generation of this same My Book device. While I don't own the previous My Book version in question, I did check the USB connector on my device. The supplied USB 3.0 cable seems to be stable in its connection to the rear port of the My Book case. I can't physically make it move horizontally or vertically with any significance - unless I were to apply excessive force. Modest attempts at movement of the USB cable did not disrupt the connection. I don't plan to move this My Book from one place to another (it's connected to my NAS), so I suppose that I won't be able to comment well on wear-and-tear issues with respect to the USB connector. Other My Book devices that I own are the Mac Firewire/USB 2.0 version. Those have never struck me as flimsy. Update 1/18/14: Since writing my original review, I've purchased a 2nd unit which I reformatted for Mac OS X and use for "time machine" backup. Both drives are functioning well and have had no issues. I'm still very pleased with the quality and function of the drives. Reading through a number of the questions regarding this drive, it's clear that the term "cloud backup" as assigned by WD to this drive is a bit of a marketing stretch. As has been noted by others, the "cloud backup" option is not intrinsic to the drive, but an add-on service provided by Dropbox and facilitated by WD software that a user may choose to run on an attached computer (I don't personally use or recommend that others use WD software). These drives are nothing more than a WD drive, in an enclosure, with a single USB 3.0 connection. If you are looking for "cloud" capability, other product options do exist. I do hope that WD changes its description of drives such as this in future marketing. ## Features - Included WD Backup software makes backing up what's important to you easy and fast - Easy to use WD Backup software makes protecting what's important to you easy - Downloadable version of AcronisTrue Image WD Edition software offers system-level backup for complete protection - Compatible with Windows(R) File History, included on Windows 8 and Windows 10 - Password protection with hardware encryption keep your private stuff private - USB 3.0 for fast data transfer rates ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00E3RH61W | | Additional Features | Hardware Encryption | | Best Sellers Rank | #721 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | Western Digital | | Built-In Media | Desktop Hard Drive, USB Cable, AC Adapter, WD SmartWare Pro Software, Quick Install Guide | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 4 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,631 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5000 megabits_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 4000 GB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037812021 | | Hard Disk Description | Desktop | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard-Drive Size | 4 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 2.3 pounds | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Media Speed | 625 MB/s | | Mfr Part Number | WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN | | Model Name | My Book | | Model Number | WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Special Feature | Hardware Encryption | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 088020916143 718037812021 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 5 Year Dealer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 4000 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Desktop - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Hardware Encryption ## Images ![WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nP6tI7XSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with the Xbox One?** A: I use this on my Xbox One and it works awesome. It has a faster drive speed than the on board drive for the Xbox, so I get faster load times. Not joking, I'm usually the first in the server on BF1, so I get a tank to start almost every game. **Q: can I eat this?** A: Sir/Ma'am, You may eat this and anything else that you desire.. **Q: Is this product compatible with time machine** A: You'll need a time machine if you want to buy this hard drive for a decent prize. 6 years ago I purchased this 4TB hard drive for $114. Today, the exact same hard drive is on sale for $169.99. So much for advancements in technology. **Q: Does this work with Apple Time Machine after formatting it to Mac?** A: I don't know that it does. When you go to the website you can select whether you need info related to either a PC or a Mac. My original answer related to Time Machine which is incorporated into the Mac OS. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paired with Airport Extreme, makes it the same as 4TB Time Capsule, but much cheaper *by A***E on May 19, 2017* I bought this to enable the time machine features on my Mac computers.

I was worried this woudl arrive DOA .. that these precise instruments were too delicate to be tossed around by ups or usps. but it arrived.. and worked .. and is working fine.. 4 TB (3.75TB) is nice. They hold so much info tho.. a failure would be catastrophic so i'm going to buy one just to back up stuff i already have. (the only failure i have had with these so far is when i dropped one that was spinning 3feet onto hard surface.. it continued to work till powered off.. but it never booted again.. I have 4 variations of this on my desk.. and i will buy several more in the future.. only drawback (other than if you drop one that is powered) is that they sleep when not used.. so when you go to use them you have to wait 10 - 15 seconds for the drive to spin up. This is a noticeable irritation.. but preferred to having the drives fail sooner.. they all seem to run quiet and cool.. in my history of these things i have had one failure (other than my catastrophic droped one). but it was not the drive. it was it's power supply.. (i had the leftover power supply from the one i dropped tho so i was saved!) .. that reminds me i need to check on amazon for buying a backup power supply for these. (the one i dropped was my oldest and first drive 750GB.. its ps was higher amps than the newer ones.. the newest ones are these 4 TB versions. These are precision instruments and should NOT be moved while in use.. I Dont know if drives park themselves these days.. (remove heads from platters for transportation and handling) but i would always disconnect the drive in windows.. before handling it.. and even then only when power is off to it. the drives spin very fast and gyroscopic forces would probably ruin the drive if you just moved it around while spinning... and 4 TB of data is a LOT to lose! I have 5 of these now.. and will continue to buy them.. i love these drives. amazon has the best price too i think. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 4TB My Book Desktop External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFJK0040HBK-NESN,Black - WD 20TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 drive for plug-and-play storage - WDBWLG0200HBK-NESN - WD 1TB My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive, Black, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 compatible - WDBYVG0010BBK-WESN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1180537-wd-4tb-my-book-desktop-external-hard-drive-usb-3](https://www.desertcart.com.my/products/1180537-wd-4tb-my-book-desktop-external-hard-drive-usb-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Malaysia* *Store origin: MY* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
