Western Digital Without extra "tinsel " - my review about it

I had to deal with this model of an external hard drive at work. It was the use of this disc of the brand "Western Digital" that prompted me to purchase a similar one for my own needs. However, when choosing such a device for home, I purchased a slightly different model, with a smaller volume and smaller dimensions. My review of the WD My Passport 1Tb external hard drive Upon purchase, the WD Elements 2Tb external hard drive was in a cardboard box. On the box, I found a rather interesting plate, which listed the main additional options that distinguish the three main models of external hard drives manufactured by Western Digital from each other. From the plate, I learned that the WD Elements 2Tb external hard drive is different from the one what I purchased for personal purposes (WD My Passport 1Tb external hard drive) lacking a backup function and information encoding function. Since these two functions do not play a special role for me, their presence is not a fundamental principle when choosing a model. In addition, as it turned out later, on the disk space of the product there is an installation file for a thirty-day trial version of the program, for backup, including cloud copying using the "Dropbox" resource, the operation of which I also casually mentioned in the review WD My Passport external hard drive 1Tb I did not use this program, the current as this tricky move to lure to the "Dropbox" resource and use the backup program is too obvious. Of course, it is clear that after a month of using this cloud, it will turn out that the "free" period of using the program has passed and the question of your information already accumulated on the resource will be in limbo, and therefore you will have to conclude an agreement with "Dropbox" and use their services already on a paid basis, since the free space that it allocates is negligible, you will also have to install a paid backup program. Having opened the package, I found that the external drive itself, in order to prevent damage, is in a profiled, additional package made of pressed cardboard. The dimensions of the disk itself are basically about the same as those of other modern models. As for the height of the device, in my opinion it is of course too big, and for many other models it is much less. Of course, in a shirt pocket or in the inner pocket of a jacket, such a disc will not be very comfortable to wear, and it weighs a little more than most models that I have encountered before. If you press a little on the top cover (plane) of the disk, then the cover will noticeably bend. It seems to me that this is not a very good sign (the design is not rigid enough). The delivery set also includes a connection cable, about 50 centimeters long. One side of the cable has a USB 2.0 connector On the other side of the USB 3.0 format A paper manual is also available. The remaining characteristics of the disk triple me completely. excellent volume, transfer and recording speed, no noise, and no heating of the device. In general, an excellent disk, "without unnecessary tinsel", designed to store information.
