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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Ive never seen anything worse! A terrible purchase.

After purchasing it for use as a router (to facilitate late-night torrent downloads), barely using it, and eventually noticing a decline in disk health (reading speed dropping to the tens of kilobytes, yes, kilobytes), I have, as of today, declared the device dead. Windows is unable to initialize the drive, and proprietary utilities report that it contains zero megabytes. My decision to return the disc under warranty led me to discover that it must be packaged securely and shipped to the United States. It was the last disk of this office's "Horns and Hooves" series, and I have numerous WD disks in my computer with zero complaints (pah-pah).

Pros
  • ordinary
Cons
  • 2/22/2022: no warranty, died after 2 months
