I have a couple of backup drive that fail from time to time, so am replacing them. This is big enough and fast enough for a regular Time Machine backup. Keep multiple copies. I’ve had an internal and external disk (not SSD) fail at the same time – luckily had another current backup. I have had good service from WD devices.

I have about 26 of these. Every project gets 2. All other brands have seen corruption and failure, but never WD. Just make sure to buy it with a hard case and let it stay in the case. Best way to take care of them. And format to EXFAT so it works on both mac and windows without the 4gb limit.

I had an error after a couple of months, limit the available space.

Nowaday you need a lot of space, and this is perfect

USB Cable is aboout 15 inches. I think that is long enough. I saw some people complain about it being short. I also have a Toshiba drive that is shorter. Light is no problem, just turn it if it bothers you. NFTS format with no garbage software. I recommend it.

Worked great for a few months then started making a funny noise then died. Learned my lesson and just bought another Lacie Rugged drive.
Birdie Weimann (verified owner) –
Great small drive, using it to mirror other drive as backup.
Elody Hirthe (verified owner) –
it’s proven reliable and durable. if you travel, get yourself a case for it
Anastacio Paucek (verified owner) –
I believe I read a lot about the Elements before buying. I wanted, and thought I was buying, an external back-up drive but it turns out it’s just a big thumb drive. It’s great if that’s what you’re looking for, but I wasn’t, so I had to buy another external back-up drive and it does what I wanted. Disappointed that the info. on the web wasn’t more clear about what Elements is.

It was quick to ship, easy to set up (on a Mac), and works fine.

Like most all such compact hard drives, this one offers a terrific convenience for backing up files when traveling When paired with a lightweight laptop, you’re virtually guaranteed to come home with your precious images intact. Western digital drives enjoy the highest reliability rating among cloud providers.

can’t do without these
Vivien Rippin (verified owner) –
Product seems to work fine. Wasted a lot of time trying to find instructions for setting up to automatically back up my computer hard drive. After making a phone call I found out there is no software to set up a back up, despite what the WD website said. ANY information included, as opposed to none, would have been most appreciated.
