WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive 1TB (6.4 cm (2.5 inches), USB 3.0) Black (Accessories)

Customer Review

For me, the following criteria were decisive, the WD Elements zuzulegen:
- USB 3.0 (here you should really not saving The speed increase is enormous.!)
- Mobile, ie without power supply
- Where possible, be used without Y-USB cable

What can I say? The hard drive meets these criteria not only but lays smooth yet gained a lot, because the full power of the hard disk is already being accessed from home with the supplied USB cable.
A Y-USB cable is neither necessary nor useful in any form.
Since my TV / Ultrabook have not so many USB ports, which is just great.

Data I could with well over 100 MB / sec write (SSD on the WD Elements). That should be enough. With its predecessor, it was less than 20 MB / sec!

The processing and the space-saving design are to be commended.

A star deduction however, there is for the supplied software on the hard drive. Only trial version, highly controversial (allegedly illicitly sends data), not really make sense. Although a quick format provides a remedy for inexperienced users who possibly rely on the software offering that is not enough.

Nevertheless, a strong buy recommendation! 4 stars.
