WD 4TB Elements Portable USB 3.0 External Hard Drive
I had an issue with my first drive not the fault of B & H Electronics. They handled it very well and I expect to have smooth sailing in the future.

Excellent tool
This is the second WD drive I've purchased for external drive photo storage . They are light, and easy to handle and their use frees up space on my computer. Simple and they work!

Compact, fast and reliable
I was surprised at the size of the unit when i received it, but then I realised that it uses a solid state storage disk. I powered it up, attached it to my KWILT personal cloud hub and never looked back. I store all my photo backups there and can access it at will. Great product

The need for storage
WD elements has not yet failed me. Elements is a easy backup. Super service from B&H as always.

Nice portable HD
Well designed and attractive. Quite fast. It runs on USB power only and doesn't need a cord for a wall connection. I store photos on mine and it is much quicker than what I was using before. I plan on buying another soon.

Simple to Use & Works Fine
I have only had this WD Elements Portable drive for about a week & a half. But, so far it works fine. I simply took it out of the box and connected it to my USB port and the drive was recognized by my computer. I am using this WD external drive for file backups. Over the following 5 days I proceeded to download about 2.5 TB of data from two external LaCie drives. All downloads were flawless. I should point out that I am connecting this WD dri... Show More

Lives Up To Expectations
This product replaced an older WD 2TB USB USB 2.0 external drive. I had no problems with the older drive except that it was a bit slow considering that I now have a computer with USB 3.0 capability. The size of the older drive was never an issue for me but I'm guessing that this new drive is less than a 1/4 the size of the old one. The best thing about it is that it does not require a separate power source.

Simple, cheap, perfect for a bootable clone.
It was easy to re-format this 1 Tb drive for a Mac and partition it into 2 500 Gb partitions. I use Super Duper to make bootable clones and it worked perfectly. If it was slower than more expensive drives I hardly noticed. I do this at the end of the day.

Nice and trusty
Believe it or not, I still have good experiences with WD hard drives, after 10 years my 2TB WD My Book Studio II still working also and an internal 1TB WD Black still running on my 2009 Mac Pro since day one. We have bought more of 6 of these WD Element drives for delivery RAW material to our clients, to move big files between remotely located computers and none of these drives has given us problems, I don't know if it's the best option to keep data for a long time but it works for what we're using it. Wish they were more rubberized than just plastic.

Great Little Hard Drive!
Using as an external backup of my desktop computer. Setup was so simple and quick! This is my second WD external HD. WD never disappoints! I am taking my Passport to backup my laptop as it is still going strong after 8 years.

Great Drive to keep current backups
With all the stuff going on out there in cyber space these days, it has become even more important to keep current backups of your computer. This WD 1TB drive is small and compact, yet has plenty of room to keep my computer backed up.

Extra storage on the road
Drive works well and small size is a plus. I use it on the road as extra storage and backup for photos on my laptop can't beat WD for dependable storage.

Excellent Value in an External Drive
I can remember when a 20 megabyte drive cost a week's wages. I purchased this very compact Western Digital 1TB external drive for about the cost of a decent steak dinner. It is quiet, fast, runs cool and is easy to carry around. I keep one in the safe at all times and alternate between several drives to have multiple backups. Highly recommended.

6 months in and it won't turn on anymore
Seemed to be working fine and out of no where now when I plug it in the light won't come on, it won't do anything. Tried multiple usb ports, changing the cord out for my other Passport cords and nothing. Super bummed.

Terribly cheap but useful compact hard disk
So compact it can fit easily anywhere. For the price it's a very good deal, the only downside is that sometimes it takes a while for my Macbook to detect it. Have been using it for 4 months now and so far no issues. Would purchase again in the future!

Small, lite, and useful storage.
If your intent is to use the WD backup software, buy the MyPassport instead. The WD backup software will not work with this external drive. What this is good for is storing all those thousands of files that would cause grief if lost. There are software packages that will back up your files, or just use the operating system to move the files to this disk.

Love it so far for travel
Great size for travel to back up your internal hard drive. I have not had it long enough to say more than that. This is equipment you can only review after it is obsolete. Dehlonega
