18 TB External HDD Western Digital WD Elements Desktop, USB 3.0, black Review

Solid, silent, reliable, large-capacity external HDD from a renowned manufacturer (WD) for storing a large number of files. In my opinion, it is ideal for storing a personal home movie library and series.

It would be nice to have a set of stylish stickers to mark discs. Optimally, such as were once attached to my "diplomat": a plastic film black square, on which in a metallized "golden" frame were paired metallized "golden" letters. Yes, in principle, anything can be depicted, if only in one black and gold "glossy style" and in a pair (for a disk and for a Europlug connector)

I bought this hard drive to replace the honestly worked 12-13 years old WD My Book for 1 TB. Bought for home backup. The new model has a more miniature disk activity indicator. The disk works, I would not say that it is quiet, but it is not loud either, it does not heat up much. The outer box is made qualitatively and beautifully, plastic gloss. Speeds for large files are quite high, about 180 Mb/s. Inside the box is a WDC WD40EDAZ-11SLVB0 disc made using SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording)…

Good hard. Only being stuck in USB is a factor that autorun takes into account (even if there are no drivers). It would appear that Plug-and-Play is functional). It comes pre-loaded with additional software from Western Digital, which takes up a total of 350 MB, as well as a driver installation file that is rather short.

As I have already stated, the ridiculously loud rattles, as well as the table, and everything else, spread noise around the room. When Seagate is placed next to it for 6 TB, the noise is absolutely inaudible and can only be heard when the device is brought very close to the ear. It's interesting that this is the case because many people hold the opinion that WD is of higher quality; that's why I chose it. Inside, I'll work on installing rubber gaskets to see if that makes a difference.

I had a lot of movies, music, and images that needed to be stored, so I purchased an HDD. The decision was made almost instantly to go with this model. Naturally, I was a little bummed out about the loss of 200 gigabytes of storage space, but this is already a specialized kind of technology. I use this hard drive as a movie savings account, and it has served me well without any problems for the past two years. The one thing that can be frustrating is the rate at which a significant volume of…

These were the least expensive choice available for the cost of the TB, as a result of this. It makes little difference which ones are taken for backups; the most important thing is that they are not from problematic HDD lines. Below are some advantages: The second, with the standard amount of the discount applied. Tenacious, the first has spent the better part of a decade hiding behind backups. No noise. Having this drawback: Came with a very small scratch right close to the LED, however I…

I have a 40 GB speed of 35-40 MB per second when transferring HD movies () With its cons: not observed yet) Its pros include: An amazing disk, it doesn't heat up, everything is OK; someone wrote about a ty transfer speed, but it's not; everything is fine; someone else wrote about a ty transfer speed; it's not. It's possible that weight is a factor, but even if it is, the point still stands:

My personal product experience.He took the disk out of its box and stuck it into the computer case. The temperature is 42 degrees. Inside was a "black" WD1502FAEX !

Many write about problems with the hard drive, I had nothing like that. Never formatted, did not check for bads, everything works. Got pros: Pleasant to the touch, looks good. Quiet. Weakly heated. Stops when there is no communication. Cool white LED) Different cons: Flimsy mini-USB connector, first lost contact, then fell off completely. Worked for over a year. Data is not lost, pulled out the hard drive and continue to use with the docking station.

this is my third hard drive from this company, they all die almost immediately after the warranty! I won't take any more! and you are watching! Has some pros: Quiet, not heated, the price was very attractive for such a volume! With its cons: Died right after the warranty expired. and such a volume is not seen by any players and TVs! only by computer!

Suitable strictly for home use as a replacement for internal storage in case you transfer files to another computer. Taking it anywhere with you is a big risk of losing all your precious files beyond recovery. :( Got pros: Large volume at a reasonable price. I took a little over a year ago for 2700r. Some cons: Manufacturing quality. Inside the usual WD Caviar Green. Starts slowly. External power supply and large power supply. I did not survive the fall from the system unit - I died, and I…

I've been using it for a long time. At one time I used it as a carrier. Once fell off the table, it works fine. No complaints. However, I duplicate the data, which is what I wish you.

I took it as an additional medium for a laptop, you know, there is not enough internal memory. One minus seems to me that it increases the battery consumption of the beech, but the data transfer rate is not bad. You will come to friends and throw off what you need and it's fine. Now I'm thinking about buying the same but already at 2 TB.

It has been in use for four days. All appears to be well. the standard 2TB screw. 1.8)) 5400 rpm is, of course, both a benefit and a drawback. On the one side, it doesn't become as hot, but on the other, the pace is slower than yusbi 2.0 is capable of. It's unfortunate that the case didn't have any openings. so that it would be much colder. Okay, that makes sense. so that the dust won't likely become clogged. but this is how I would handle it. There would be 4 legs along the edges and openings…

stupidly died in less than a year of operation, taking with him to the grave the entire collection of cinema, for which, in fact, he was purchased.

I purchased this particular model approximately a month ago. I instantly removed practically everything from the primary computer as well as the laptop and transferred it to a fresh drive. Everything is replicated quickly enough, and the process is completely silent. But the disc ceased operating after three weeks had passed! I am successfully connected, but there is no response (even if the indicator light is on). And despite my attempts to connect to a variety of computers running a variety…

I have been using western digital hard drives for many years, they never let me down, pah pah. I took my mother-in-law as a gift, I'm happy as an elephant. So far, nothing to complain about.

Pros: Compact, quiet and doesn't get hot. Large volume. It is read without problems by the ASUS O! Play MINI media player, for which it was taken. Also long enough power cables and USB / Super! Got cons: It is detected 1-2 seconds longer than a portable WD on 500Gb Well, it's like a joke) Of course, this is not a drawback :)

It is not necessary to transport this external hard drive from one location to another; rather, its primary purpose is for usage permanently in a single place of business. For those individuals who enjoy downloading movies, I believe that this business strategy has been a very fruitful acquisition. Below are some advantages: An excellent balance between the price and the quality. Almost no heat, even though there are no openings in the ventilation system. Very quiet. No drivers required; just…
