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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

Because there is no method to adjust the disk, after using it for three days I returned it to the store because there is no other option. I decided to purchase a Passport Ultra instead, and after setting everything up immediately through the program, the disk was able to turn off without preventing me from sleeping. Other advantages include an optimal price-to-volume ratio, quiet operation, stylish design, no need for additional power sources because everything is powered by microUSB 3.0, and a respectable transfer speed, with a maximum of 110 MB when copying data and an average of 50 MB per second. The manufacturer does not offer any software that is tailored exclusively to this model, which is one of the product's disadvantages. Yet, all apps are accessible for Passport models that fall within the same price range. Setting the drive off timer through WD Utilities was required in order to get the drive to sit idle for the appropriate amount of time. The tool does not recognize the disk, and it is not included on the list of drives that can be read by the utility.
