Can I use a 3.0USB hard drive with my iMac?

I need to expand my storage space and I have found a really good deal on a new WD My Book 4TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive; and I was wondering it it will work with my 20-inch, Mid 2007 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), 20', Mid2007 22Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

It will, but for how long may be a better question. FWIW, my experience with

WD external drives over the years has been all bad. Had multiple drives over

the years and all failed well before their time. One didn't even last a year.

The issue was always with the enclosures as the drives themselves were still

totally functional. There are many others that have seen the same.
