Only WD for me. Have 5 2TB. Now moved to 4TB. Great deal and service from BH…..

When my older (2011) iMac started acting up, I needed something small and convenient to save the documents still left on my hard drive. The WD 2TB Elements portable USB 3.0 drive is the perfect solution and a handy little backup, especially at this price point. I transferred the docs from the old iMac to my new iMac (mid-2021) without any issues.

Hasn’t crapped out on me yet!

These are my favorite portable USB hard drives. Theyre simple and not bogged down with annoying software that cant be removed.

No hassle set-up for USB Copy from a Synology disk station. Recommended.

Small size allows me to take my desktop’s contents anywhere and work on items without being on the web.

I have had it on several plane and other trips and is still working fine.

There is always room for a fast and trouble free smaller sized external hard drive. I have six of these and love them…the most useful size available for fast and effortless usage…in a practical size. Get one, and you’ll never look back.

This thing is great. Imagine 5T in a package size that I remember used to give you 500GB.

As spec’d, runs. I use it for Windows File History.
Leila Ryan (verified owner) –
As the other two bad reviews, same thing happened to me. After a few months of light use it just broke and doesn’t work anymore. If you are going to store valuable data spend the few extra bucks and get a decent hard drive.
Delphia Rosenbaum (verified owner) –
Initially didn’t work, but after a quick jostle of the input it has been working fine. Transfer speeds are fairly smooth. Happy with the purchase.
Melvina Rempel (verified owner) –
quite small dimensions, this thing is actually faster than i anticipated.
Fannie Renner (verified owner) –
That fit perfect for what I need, it has a good speed to store data

screaming deal on this HD, I have three, SSD is less fragile but more expensive WD makes a good product. I store a gazillion pics on this thing even 100-200 mg tiff files.

I have several WD external hard drives. Purchased this one for a backup. So far, so good and the price was right.

I’ve been using WD magnetic drives as backups for over a decade. Although I use Solid State Drives in my computers, magnetic drives are better for long term offline data storage. I tested the drive with both USB 3 and USB 2. The throughput is about the same which is to be expected for a spinning platter.
