  • 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

  • Same reliability
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
This is my 5th one of these over the last several years. They are used for backing up files that are accessed on a regular bases. I have never had one of the WD ones fail and this one worked right out of the box and was easy to set up. This one was replacing a year old competitor drive that failed as soon as warranty was up. I recommend these to people because of the ease of use and setup. I will note that this is not 20TB AFTER it is formatted (only 18TB). This is the norm for data storage and is just a reminder for people who don't use storage drives often. ... show more

  • Great Product For a Good Price
Memory Storage Capacity: 8 TB
I only buy Western Digital hard drives as they are proven more to have less issues than other brands. This is my 5th one of these. I run in depth tests prior to use and never had any issues.

  • Compatible with my iPad Pro
Memory Storage Capacity: 16 TB
First off, Western Digital's Customer Support was fantastic. They helped this non-technical guy set this up for my iOS operating system very quickly. I used their chat function and it was excellent. They warned that they were not sure this would work well with my iPad b/c the iPad doesn't have the power to drive it. Hence I had already bought a docking station to fix that. It works perfectly with the iPad Pro 12.9. Of course it's new, so I can't say anything about its longevity. It even allows for creation of folders for sorting! Overall I think it's fine, though a tad slow with the iPad (I'm sure it's faster on a computer). ... show more

  • Much Better Than I Expected
Memory Storage Capacity: 20 TB
I hadn't used any hard drive devices in over a decade. They used to be slow, loud, and unreliable. I replaced them with SSDs and SD cards and had been very happy with the upgrade. I decided to give this product a try because I was tired of managing multiple SD cards and constantly needing to select which files to keep to fit within limited storage capacity. To my surprise, this hard drive exceeded my expectations: 1) Silent Operation: Unlike the old hard drives I remember, this one produces very minimal "clicking" sounds. After the initial noise during startup, it operates almost silently. 2) Automatic On/Off: At least with my PC, the device automatically powers on without needing to touch the power button. It also turns off automatically when shutting down the PC, which is super convenient. 3) Faster Data Transfer: Compared to SD cards, the data transfer speed is significantly faster—up to 10 times faster in my experience. My minor complaints are the slower data seek speed (understandably slower than SSDs) and, as many users have pointed out, the deceptive total storage volume—it offers just 18 TB instead of the advertised 20 TB. That said, this is a fantastic product for anyone looking for hassle-free, massive storage capacity. ... show more

  • Attached to Tablo for greater recording space
Memory Storage Capacity: 6 TB
Great add disk derive if you want to save a lot of recordings. Device has worked flawlessly since purchased. Hookup was simple and now able to save all the programs that I want. Drive noise level is very low. I’m using in a bedroom and can’t hear the drive from the bed.

  • Dependable workhorse of a drive
Memory Storage Capacity: 8 TB
I've had the 8TB version of this drive for 6 years on my Plex server and it has performed flawlessly and still going strong. I've had other drives fail in that time period, including a Samsung SSD, but this drive keeps chugging along. I've been very happy with it overall.
