    • So Far So Good
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
this is a great everyday, desktop storage solution. Decent speeds and loads of storage space for a great price.

    • A quality product backed with a great warranty.
Memory Storage Capacity: 16 TB
Product arrived on time and packaged well. Simple to set up: connect the USB cable and plug in the power cable and was ready to use. Downloads were easy and very fast with lots of storage for me (16TB).

    • Works well out of the box, used as backup destination for Synology NAS
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
It needs a tiny bit of fiddling to reformat on PC before I could plug into my Synology NAS as an external backup device, but otherwise it works flawlessly. It is now connected to my device 24*7 and set to hibernate after 30 minutes of inactivity. So far so good and there is little noise output. Not sure about the endurance but hopefully it could lasts for 5 years +... ... show more

    • Works well
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
Works very well... just connected it to a USB3 port and Windows 11 saw it right away. Lots of room for large backups of photos and videos. Only 4 stars though for 2 reasons. First is the utility software loaded on the hard drive does *not* work with this particular model. So why load useless software? Second is that it will *not* work through a powered USB3 hub, but it is fine when connected directly to the computer. My old Seagate 6TB USB drive does work with the hub with no issues. ... show more

    • Back it all up, and reduce the risk.
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
Great for periodic backups, I pair this with a raspberry PI so I can keep constant backups of anything important. The idea is eventually when I'm done changing around data, I back everything up, keep it in a fireproof safe along with all of it's cords, and if anything happens I'll have all my data still. Wish I bought this a year ago... but it wasn't on sale then so yeah. Does the job perfectly, and extremely easy to use. ... show more

    • What a deal!
Memory Storage Capacity: 10 TB
This drive is AMAZING. I've had it since 2019 and I've been using it mainly as a backup drive so I just plug it in to run backups from all of my other hard drives. The price and storage space are unbeatable, and I haven't had a single issue with it. So simple to plug in and unplug as needed, and it has great transfer speeds with USB 3.0 support. I was not counting on finding such a cheap, reliable, high quality external drive. ... show more

    • Disk makes loud and palpable thumping sounds when no tasks are underway
Memory Storage Capacity: 16 TB
UPDATE: 10/25/24 They did send me a shipping label. But of course then that allowed me to track the returned HDD. I had taken the malfunctioning drive to FedEx, the tracking showed me it arrived at WD on 10/17. I received an email telling me it arrived or it just made it off the loading dock and upstairs at WD yesterday. To review: Drive arrives via USPS: 10/10/24. I report problem 10/12/24 Drive shipped to WD: 10/14/24 This has now been 15 days and I still do not have the drive. The shipping record did record a delay of one day going to California. But this does not excuse them for not being honest about when the package arrived at their center. It does not excuse their lack of concern that as a consumer I have other options. If I have to pay more to get better quality products with better quality service then so be it. The data is important to me, I do not want it to be stored on a defective drive with a response team that appears to be sleep walking. Is it that they have SO many other issues with their products to address?. They said they will notify me when my replacement is ready to ship. Does anyone there know Christmas is coming? So....two weeks and counting. I had put HOURS AND HOURS of work into organizing and preparing my data for the arrival of a WD Elements 16TB drive. I immediately set it up-well, after reformatting it to work with Mac OS, and begin copying all that data I had organized and prepared. All of it photos. After I finished copying the last round of files, I kept hearing a thumping sound. The new drive's white light was blinking, then not showing, then not blinking and that kept up. I put my hand on the drive and I could feel the thumping as well as hear it. I contacted WD Support-that was more of a nightmarish descent into hell, than it should have been. FINALLY! I was put in contact with someone who after I explained the above; told me the drive had to be returned. And guess what? I have to purchase the return label...Tomorrow I will find out if I have to also PAY WD for the cost of returning their deficient HDD. I've owned WD drives before and all worked as expected, no issues or failures. But not this one. I'll see how the replacement works-already been told it will take up to 7 days...from California? To an address on the West Coast? If it all goes south, I'll be looking at something comparable from Seagate. Very disappointed. UPDATE 11-19-24 Replacement drive arrived. And.....SAME EXACT PROBLEM. The drive is not recording data, because no data has been installed. The drive is empty and it is making the same thumping-raspy sound as the drive I returned. I timed the sound and after 5 tests it made the sound on average every 5.344 seconds. Amazon says it will honor the refund and give me credit toward the purchase of another drive. That drive will not be WD. What a nightmare. ... show more
