The Western Digital My Book 3.0 1 TB [$149.99] is one of the first external hard drives to support the new USB 3.0 standard. Forget about firewire! The My Book 3.0 transfers data at up to 10x the rate of USB 2.0, so it will copy over movies and other large files in no time.

In case your computer isn’t already equipped for the new standard, this WD 1 TB external hard drive comes with a PCIe USB 3.0 adapter card and is backward compatible with USB 2.0. The drive is NTFS formatted and will play nice with any Windows PC out of the box.
