    Almost perfect

    This is my 5th Western Digital desktop HDD, a brand I am extremely satisfied with. A HDD acquired to back up my DVD & BluRay collection. This HDD works perfectly although a bit noisy and above all, its narrow and high design gives it an unstable balance that a too rigid USB cable could unbalance and cause it to tip over. This is not an insignificant detail because this big HD contains all my backups. Be careful to keep it well balanced. Very fast delivery.

    Review of WD My Book

    Hello,
    I have received this product.
    I have only had it for a few weeks and it is too early to give a precise opinion on this type of equipment.
    What surprised me is that it makes noise (it scratches from time to time). Whereas the previous 4TB My Book is perfectly silent.
    I hope that this noise will not be to the detriment of its lifespan or the quality of the recordings.

    LDLC, a safe bet!

    I'm very pleased with the service and the product. I'm very pleased with the service and the product, and I'm very pleased with the service and the product, and I'm very pleased with the service and the product.

    I'm very pleased with the service and the product...................................................

    I've been using them for a while now, but they work perfectly and do their job. The only thing to improve would be to have everything sent as a bonus by amazon, which manages deliveries 10,000 times better than the post office (chrono or other)...but I'm quibbling here...

    I would recommend LDLC again for all your electronic purchases if the product is in their bank. Even if it's a bit more expensive, even if I pay the shipping costs, LDLC quality is priceless for me! Thank you!!!
