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

It doesn't get hot. Doesn't make noise. Doesn't vibrate. The first impression is a perfectly acceptable disk for data storage. The truth is that when itcomnnects, a window pops up in which all the directories recorded on it are sorted out. Only then does the window close. With a data volume of 100 GB, this window hung for 37 seconds. Although, if the window is closed earlier, all root directories are already visible in the explorer and, probably, you can not take a steam bath. A trifle, but annoying: why is some process hanging (reading directories), although in the background. There are no special firewood for it, it is recognized on XP without problems. The SMART test does not pass on Victoria, although speed testing is fine. Since WDBUZQ0010BBK uses a microUSBcomnnector, and it is very flimsy, it is better to insert the cable into it once and not remove it again (it will last longer). With frequent removal of thecomnnector on thecomntroller board, the tracks are torn off and the disk will have to be carried in for repair. This is one of the disadvantages of such acomnnector. The speed is quite acceptable. Below are the tests. USB-2 mode tests using CrystalDiskMark. [Speed ​​in MB/s] -Flash-Transcend. WDBUZQ0010BBK. WD7500BPKT USB-3 - RD. WR. RD. WR.. RD.

About reliability I can not say, little yuzal.
