Review on 2 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Portable (WDBU), USB 3.0, black by Mateusz Gsiewski ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I do not recommend spending your money on this.

Long have I wished for an external hard drive, a sort of "large flash drive" in which one might store all of one's preferred movies and television series and then view them on a television set. At the same time, you should declutter the space on the laptop so that it does not run more slowly. As a result, the day finally arrived when I decided to purchase this marvel. The amount of joy that could be experienced was unbounded; everything could be read and downloaded in a short amount of time; all of the films were accessible; and, in general, everything was amazing. Turning the device on its side cured all of the issues, despite the fact that the device had a small blinking LED that was a little unpleasant. But the joy did not stay for very long (I bought it on March 8, I was disappointed on May 17). One day, I inserted a disk into a laptop, and at first, he did not see or read it. Later on, however, he began to offer to format it, and at that time, a sound that resembled tapping was heard for the first time. This was something that hadn't been noticed before. After realizing my error with a not-so-new laptop and its ports, I inserted the device into another computer and discovered that it was a hard drive. Naturally, I did not format the device. And there is nothing that can be done about it because the next day, it suddenly stopped being identified by the laptop, and the laptop itself immediately locks up whenever an external disk is connected to the port. I gave some thought to fixing it, but the cost of doing so would be comparable to the cost of buying it brand new, or even higher. It is highly possible that you will need to go out and get a brand new external hard drive. There is absolutely no interest in wasting time and energy in service centers. Although it's unfortunate that such a large number of files would need to be downloaded, it's fortunate that the disk did not include anything of the utmost importance or value. But, the disk did not fall, anything was not thrown on it, nothing was spilt, and the TV-laptop did not move any further than the path. In most cases, it was housed in settings similar to a greenhouse. As a consequence of this, it is unoriginal and offensive to people on a human level, and yet it does not cost a single thing.

Pros
  • Quick, quiet.
Cons
  • failed to work after only two months of use for no apparent reason.
