Compatible USB 2.0 cable for WD My Book

This 5 ft Mini USB 2.0 cable connects Western Digital My Book desktop hard drives to a PC or laptop for data transfer. It supports the 160 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB and 3 TB capacities listed by the supplier. The cord is a generic compatible accessory, not an original Western Digital part.

Simple plug-in installation

The Mini USB connector fits the drive port and the standard USB end plugs into any USB 2.0 or backward-compatible port. No drivers or software are required. The only common issue is attempting to use the cable with a drive that does not have a Mini USB interface, which will prevent a physical connection.

Suitable for owners of listed My Book models

Buyers who need a replacement or spare lead for the specific Western Digital My Book drives mentioned will find this cable fits. It is not suitable for drives that use Micro USB, USB-C or proprietary power connectors, nor for anyone needing a cable longer than the 5 ft length provided.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 5ft Mini USB 2.0 cable is syncing data with my Western Digital My Book after connecting it?

The drive should appear in your file manager and the activity LED on the enclosure will blink during transfers.

What is included in the package and do I need to buy a separate power adapter for the My Book drive?

The box contains one AC power cable cord; the Mini USB 2.0 data cable is the item you are purchasing.

Which cable length should I choose for a desktop setup with the 500GB, 750GB, 1TB or 2/3 TB My Book models listed?

The 5ft length works well for typical desk distances; select it if the drive sits near the computer.
