Hello M&M;,If it has a micro usb port, this cable should be able to work. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

I don't know what the WD hard drive calls for but I doubt it. This has the "micro" USB plug on one end, which is smaller than most external hard drives I've used have.

Check to see if your manual states size. Remember there are 3sizes. Full/ micro. And. Mini.

It should have the cables in the packaging under the drive, both the special USB cable for the drive and a standard FireWire 800 cable.

I don't know, but you can look up the drive specifications on the Western Digital website.

I only have experience with the Western Digital one, and it works fine once you use Acronis to format it. It's up to you. But, keep in mind if you do get the Western Digital one, they send the drive alone, no screws and no cables, just the drive.

I'm not sure. Isn't it in the specs. My UPS died and this cable is in storage with many others now. Sorry. But the extension usb would work if too short

You are correct on your question. I don't use the power cable for my external hard drive

Buy a hard drive with a LAN port built into it. Western digital makes several at decent rates. Also do a search for "LAN external hard drive"

Unless your hard drive has some kind of USB 3.0 to the native connection interface this will cable not work. Most newer hard drives have a SATA interface or the case of an external drive, an eSATA interface. You would, at minimum, need an eSATA cable.

Hello Kathryn,This cable never did work for me. I plugged it in and my laptop could not see the drive. Returning the cable was not an easy process so I just kept the cable. If your WD drive is less than a year old I'm sure if you called WD they would send you a free replacement if yours stopped working.

This is a 36 Watt power supply, so yes, it should work with any of the "My Book Essential" external drives. But, note that this is not an OEM replacement part; it's an aftermarket item. Check the labeling on your drive-if it only needs a 18 Watt power supply, you can get an OEM power supply from the WD online store, if you care. If using an aftermarket power supply doesn't strike fear into your heart, this one should work.

This is a 9volt DC power supply, rated at 1.5 amps. As long as know that the power requirements of the external hard drive are less than 1.5 amps, it should work. You have to match the plug and polarity to use it. This is very important. Incidentally cable is 5 foot long.

I installed a 2TB Western Digital internal drive and it works just fine. You can transfer files from your main PC onto this internal drive with the supplied cable that comes with this unit.My set up works great

It does work with my flash drive, but I've never tried an external hard drive. I'm not sure how it would handle a hard drive with other types of files on it.

Hi David, I'm afraid I can't answer this question because my two WD My Book 3 TB drives are connected to my iMac by a USB 3.0 connection. Hope someone else can help you.
