Review on 18 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Desktop, USB 3.0, black by Kio Qerido (James) ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product at a good price, I advise you to try it.

After 11 months, the drive stopped working. Symptoms: - the disk is detected by the system, but it cannot be opened, and its volume is not displayed in Explorer; - on the hard drive itself, the lamp behind was constantly flashing. I disassembled the case, took out the hard drive itself and installed it inside a regular computer and it worked. Hooray. Obviously, the problem is either with the power supply or with the case, there was no time to figure it out, but I don’t want to bleed under the guarantee, there is a lot of personal data on the disk.

Pros
  • - small size; - capacity; - price (bought in February 2022 for 3500);
Cons
  • - unreliable case or power supply, the disk itself is a regular 3.5 'hard disk, there are no complaints about it;
