A great helper to store photos and movies.

The largest external drive in terms of memory and size that I have. I don’t remember exactly when they gave it to me, but there are definitely two or three years. I had discs, but for some reason I bought with a small amount of memory, so I always lacked, especially if you store different films, including, of course, your favorite TV shows, children's cartoons. In appearance, the external drive is in the form of a rectangle, with parameters 18x11.5x3.5 cm. If you look like that, it seems like…

Pros
  • Uninterrupted work
Cons
  • Didn't find it.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

It does not get hot and it does not make any noise, despite the fact that it is displayed on an open shelf. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the case is so stylish.

Pros
  • Very quick to respond, very quick, and it functions perfectly as a clock.
Cons
  • No

Great product, a pleasure to use.

This thing is gorgeous, functions perfectly, and is securely packaged. It's a CD I'd take again if I needed one. The shipping speed and quality were both exceptional.

Pros
  • This is a great, portable external hard disk. Quiet. There are no audible clatterings or clicking sounds at this time. Two-meter-long power cord. USB meter, I'd say. The speed ranged from 50,000 to 75,000 kilobytes per second during test copies.

How could such a bad product be made?

As I have already stated, the ridiculously loud rattles, as well as the table, and everything else, spread noise around the room. Seagate rests next to it for 6 TB; it is not audible at all, totally; nevertheless, if you bring it close to your ear, you will be able to hear it. 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. I'll give it a shot by installing rubber gaskets on the interior; maybe it will do the…

Excellent product, the best quality.

Perhaps it's because it has a sleek exterior, a straightforward interface, generates little heat, and is completely silent even when left on an open shelf.

Pros
  • Rapid, lightning-quick, and dependable performance.
Cons
  • No

Not worth the money, I will not advise this product.

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! Got pros: Quiet, not heated, the price was very attractive for such a volume! Has some cons: Died right after the warranty expired. and such a volume is not seen by any players and TVs! only by computer!

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Different pros: An excellent disk, it doesn’t heat up, everything is fine), someone wrote about a ty transfer speed, it’s not) I have a 40 gigabyte speed of 35-40 MB per second when transferring HD movies () Cons: not seen yet) Maybe, of course, weight) well, it’s so if you really find fault

I just bought this model roughly three weeks ago. Almost everything was transferred to a fresh disk and I immediately began clearing out my primary computer and laptop. Copies are made rapidly enough, and operation is silent. However, the disc stopped operating after only three weeks. I've established a connection, but thus far, nothing has happened. The identical response occurred when I attempted to connect to PCs running different operating systems. I opted to get in touch with WD's customer

Pros
  • Quick and simple set up (all you need is included) Stylish appearance
Cons
  • Unreliability! instead of 1Tb, there are 931Gb

Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

It was originally a router kit that I modified into a torrent rocker. You made a wonderful choice in watching S. M. A. R. T. It turned out to be a WDC WD15EARX-00PASB0, the standard "green" drive. You already know that the "green" from WD has one major flaw: when running Linux, the disk heads will be permanently parked. Therefore, their very own mechanisms. A total of 333 parkings occurred in the first 26 hours of operation, or about 13 per hour, or once every 5 minutes. Given that I have…

Pros
  • Quiet. The only way to get it to start up is to plug it into a computer's USB port, even if the power cord is plugged in.
Cons
  • Problems with parking in one's head. The timeout has been established at 8 seconds.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Purchased on Sotino.Ru (with no additional delivery costs). The fact that a small volume can hold such a large amount of empty space is a favorable aspect.It's possible that the speed will increase when playing music and other media. *After a certain amount of time has passed since the operation, I intend to unsubscribe. Got pros: Large capacity - you don't even need to write about it, just for the purpose of this everyone buys (+ the price for 1 Terabyte is lower than buying a separate HDD…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

This external hard drive is not needed to be moved from place to place, but mainly for permanent use at one workplace. I consider this model a very successful acquisition for those who like to download movies. Pros: Excellent combination of price and quality. Virtually no heat, even in the absence of ventilation holes. Very quiet. No drivers, plug and play. Cons: The guarantee is only 2 years and then European. It starts after you register your hard drive at www. Wdc. Com. Sellers in 2022 give

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I’ve been using it for 4 days . everything seems to be ok . the usual screw for 2tb . really of course 1.8)) 5400 rpm is both a plus and a minus . on the one hand it heats up less on the other, the speed is lower than possible on yusbi 2.0 . It’s a pity that they didn’t holes in the case . so the temperature would be even lower. Well, that's clear . so that the dust probably doesn't get clogged . but I would do it like this . there would be holes for ventilation from the bottom and 4 legs along

Pros
  • Cheap, horizontal, nice. Kind of reliable. Didn't warm up more than 45. Although of course I don't always look at Everest.
Cons
  • The speed is not enough . I took it purely for a torrent, with a download of 4-5 MB / s and a return of 3 MB / s and at the same time the blurry turned on on the torrent, it says that the disk is overloaded by 20-50%. And I need to constantly like this . well, at least be on the distribution . because of this, the video also slows down, of course, 100% I haven’t seen it yet . well, well . 5400 rpm .

Excellent product, the best quality.

Used well for many years, no complaints. I keep a bunch of junk files from trackers on it (games, anime, manga, movies, TV shows), for a whole year I downloaded everything I liked without limiting myself, now there is only 100GB of space left. The power supply really doesn’t look good, the wires are moderately long, you won’t be able to stretch far from the computer. The video in BD plays fine, while you can still download / distribute, the copy speed is not very high, but it suits me…

Pros
  • December 15, 2022. It still works. Bought, it seems, either in 2022, or in 2022. The last review was written on May 31, 2022. Decided to upgrade a bit. Stylish (just black and beautiful, no bells and whistles, but not miserable), in my opinion it doesn’t get very hot (36-37g in idle, 43 in active work), turns itself off when not used for a long time, very quiet (you can hear how it works, only if bring your ear close to the hard drive case).
Cons
  • Unless it requires a separate power supply, but for me it is not very critical. However, a lot of these external hard drives means the need for power outlets. Not USB 3.0 During the start, you have to wait 5 seconds so that you can safely work with files in it, this is sometimes a little annoying. High cost (I bought it for 4300, then after 2 weeks it really fell in price by 500, and now it has risen in price again) Personally, I was not lucky to it on the cheap. Plastic case (this is more of a nitpick, if you handle it carefully, do not drop it, then what the case is made of will not be so important)

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I needed an HDD to store a lot of movies, music and photos. The choice immediately fell on this model, of course, I was a little disappointed in the loss of 200 gigs of space, but this is already a specific technology. I use this HDD as a movie piggy bank, it has been working for two years without any complaints. The only annoying thing is the speed of downloading a large amount of information. For example: 110 gigs of movies are dumped in the region from 1 hour to 2 hours, but this is not a…

Pros
  • Huge volume, no noise, no heat, long wire connection
Cons
  • The inconvenience of use is expressed in the power supply, there is not always an outlet at hand (this is rather not a minus, but nit-picking, since I initially knew what I was taking). Real (in fact) disk space 1.8 Tr. , USB 2.0

I don't remember how I decided to buy two external instead of one internal: I had to create a large reserve of disk space "for growth". Plus I wanted a separate disk for backups. All this did not fit inside or came out very expensive. Satisfied with the decision. For the price, everything turned out quite acceptable, although they take up space, it is not critical. If necessary, all working materials can be taken with you without climbing into the system unit. It is quiet, fast and does not…

Pros
  • Bought and forgot
Cons
  • Sometimes you have to dust
