  • Great storage solution!
Memory Storage Capacity: 6 TB
I love this external hard drive! Its super easy to set up, just plug it in and go! You have the optional WD Discovery software you can install which will give you a 'window' of all the hard drives you have on your system. I only use Western Digital hard drives so this works perfectly for me! It doesnt take up any space, I keep it next to my desktop tower. I bought it in 2022 and now feel I need more storage so will be going for a 16gb and migrate some game/video files onto it. It works fine with Windows 10 and as I have said, Ive had it since 2022 and its still running great! Definately a good investment and storage solution for me! ... show more

  • Works extremely well and transfers data fast!
Memory Storage Capacity: 8 TB
The external hard drive was easy to set up and I was up and running in no time. It transfers files extremely fast and I have yet to see any delays. I'm very satisfied I chose western digital again for my main external harddrive as their products are very reliable and last for a good amount of time.

  • Western Digital 22TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive Review
Memory Storage Capacity: 18 TB
If you’re in search of reliable and expansive external storage solutions, look no further than the Western Digital 18TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive. With its impressive capacity and dependable performance, this external hard drive is a game-changer for content creators, graphic designers, and video editors alike. I recently purchased the 18TB variant of this external hard drive, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Prior to making this investment, I had experienced the unfortunate demise of a competitor’s 12TB drive. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve all my data, but it was a stark reminder of the importance of choosing a reliable brand. Western Digital has proven itself to be just that – reliable. Unlike my previous experience with another brand that exhibited concerning cracking sounds, this Western Digital drive operates quietly and smoothly, a testament to its solid engineering and durability. What’s particularly appealing about Western Digital’s lineup is the wide range of capacities available, ranging from 4TB all the way up to a whopping 22TB. As a content creator with demanding storage needs, having access to such expansive capacities is essential for backing up my work and ensuring I never run out of space. Speaking of which, as a content creator, graphic designer, and video editor, storage space vanishes in the blink of an eye. That’s why having a high-capacity external hard drive like the Western Digital 18TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive is an absolute necessity. It not only provides ample space for storing large media files and project backups but also offers peace of mind knowing that my valuable work is securely backed up. In fact, I’m so impressed with this external hard drive that I’m already considering upgrading to the 22TB model in the near future. After all, when it comes to safeguarding my creative assets, there’s no such thing as too much storage. In conclusion, if you’re a content creator, graphic designer, or video editor in need of reliable and spacious external storage, I highly recommend Western Digital’s Elements Desktop External Hard Drives. Trust me, it’ll make your life a whole lot easier and your workflow much more efficient. ... 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

  • Great backup HD
Memory Storage Capacity: 8 TB
What a nice large drive for backing up. This for my gamer Grandson's new computer. I am not sure how he uses so much storage, but this will help. WD is a good brand that I trust to work for a long time. This was easy to set up and it works very well. .

  • Works great as a back up unit
Memory Storage Capacity: 8 TB
Works well as a backup for my data on my Mac. Not very portable but a great value for the hard drive size.
