Included with the external hard drive are the instructions and a 3.0 USB cable (approximately 18 inches in length). This hard drive does not have/need a power cord as it uses power through the USB cable. One minor issue with this drive is that it doesn’t include any backup software. For me, that isn’t a huge issue as it isn’t necessary for me and backup software is easily accessible online.
In comparison to a couple Seagate Expansion 1TB external drives that I purchased a three years ago (both are still going strong), this WD drive’s external casing is nearly the same width and thickness but almost an inch shorter in length, roughly 4.5 inches by 3.25 inches by .5 inch thickness. So, this drive is even more compact and portable than external drives manufactured just a couple years earlier.
I have had no issues with either the Seagate brand of drive nor the WD brand as they both make very reliable drives. In this case, the choice was simply based on price (it was 40 dollars at the time of purchase direct from Amazon) and cost per GB. One Seagate drive I mainly use for storing security camera video and the other for music streaming with this WD’s purpose being mainly a backup drive for files.
This WD drive connected to my Win 7 computer quickly with no issues at being recognized. I immediately started copying nearly 100 GB of files to this drive. The drive’s transfer rate was quick and the files transferred reliably over the course of 1 to 2 hours. The files included documents, photos, music, and videos.
Although some people may like it, I am not crazy about the hard drive read/write light being on the back of the drive next to the USB port. For me, I would prefer to be able to see it on the front, but I can understand some would like the light on the back as it makes it less distracting in low light.
These also have a 2-year warranty, which is decent although not as good as the 3-year warranty on the Seagate expansion. I will update my review if I have any issues with durability.
4.5 stars
My parents are not "power users" but they had a lot more saved onto the hard drive than they thought: meeting minutes, dad's small business documents, photos, audiobooks, music, etc. The 1TB size is perfect for them. I added partitions so they use it as an external drive to save stuff as well as have space for Time Machine backups. The external HD's size is perfect because it doesn't take up much desk space but it's sturdy enough that if one of them decided to take it along to a meeting or something, it wouldn't be roughed up either. They have been using this for several months now with no issues. They're pleased that they don't have to worry about data loss or scheduling backups and should I get a phone call about data loss from them, at least we have backups to restore from.
I could have reformatted the old drives to the newer NTFS formatting was one option, but I figured those old drives were about 7 years old, and these new WD 'Elements' 1TB drives were so inexpensive that I decided to retire the old drives and buy two new ones.
I bough the 'Elements' series drive instead of WD's other popular series, called 'Passport', because Passport comes burdened with lots of stuff already on the drive, ostensibly to support features such as automatic data backup and 'cloud-like; features. WD advertises the 'Elements' series as being targeted at users to prefer just basic data storage, rather like have huge 'thumb' drives(s). Even then, these drives came with some sort of bundled application installed on the drive, and the first thing I did was to delete those, so as to have the full capacity available to me for my purposes.
The drive quality seems up to the usual high WD standards. The drives are silent running, unlike my old 'Elements' drives that I could hear whirring away (albeit fairly quietly, but still audible over the noise of the computer's fans). These drives are powered over the USB connection, so unlike my older 'Elements' drives, they don't need to be powered from a wall-wart. My only complaint is that the included USB cord is only maybe a foot long or so; I wish they had been at least twice that long.
Otherwise a nice drive that I fully expect to be very reliable.

Packaging e Confezione 📦 : il prodotto arriva nella classica scatola di amazon che è necessaria per il viaggio,onde evitare danni e graffi sul prodotto e ben sigillato, con scotch antimanomissione.
Cosa c'è nella confezione 📋 :
1 x Hard Disk
1 x Cavo USB 3.0
Descrizione e pareri personali 🙇🏻 : Il Western Digital Elements è un hard disk esterno compatto ma ad alta capacità di archiviazione, che non ti lascerà un buco nel portafoglio. Il basso costo e l’alta capacità di archiviazione si pagano al prezzo di qualche lato negativo: la garanzia è di un solo anno e il software di backup incluso, WD SmartWare Pro, è una versione di prova di 30 giorni.
Il dispositivo ospita un drive standard per laptop a bassa potenza, che gira a 5400 rpm (più lento ovviamente dei modelli a 7200 rpm); questo generalmente si traduce in peggiori performance.
Questo hard disk esterno non supporta inoltre il criptaggio dei dati, è quindi sconsigliato archiviarci sopra dati sensibili.
Nella scatola il dispositivo è accompagnato unicamente da un cavo standard Micro-USB 3.0: questo è tutto quello di cui hai bisogno per far funzionare il tuo nuovo WD Elements.
Ospitando un drive interno a bassa potenza, dal WD Elements non ci si aspettano performance incredibili, ma esso si comporta comunque bene durante i test. Attraverso una connessione USB 3.0 l’hard disk esterno ha una velocità su file di test reale di più di 95MB per secondo in scrittura e di più di 100MB per secondo in lettura.
Questi risultati sono in linea con le velocità medie dei drive portatili con USB 3.0, prestazioni abbastanza elevate per tutti gli utilizzi che richiedono archiviazione esterna, inclusa la riproduzione di film, il backup di dati e l’archiviazione di applicazioni.
Assegno 5 stelle per la mia esperienza in cui tutto ha funzionato alla perfezione
Il design semplice del WD Elements gli permette di funzionare bene sia con i computer che con le console per videogiochi, come espansione di memoria di archiviazione o come disco di backup.
Detto questo, se stai cercando una semplice soluzione per portare in giro i tuoi dati o per aumentare la memoria della tua Xbox One l’hard disk in esame è un ottimo acquisto.
Dall’esterno il dispositivo è simile ad altri prodotti Western Digital, come il WD My Passport, con angoli smussati e una superficie opaca. Il WD Elements è sicuramente abbastanza leggero e compatto da essere portato in giro nella tua tasca.
La mancanza di funzionalità del WD Elements può essere una buona cosa. Questo tipo di design ridotto all’osso significa che il drive può essere utilizzato dovunque. Un dispositivo protetto da password, per esempio, necessita di lanciare il programma per permetterti di digitare la password prima che possa essere connesso. L’Elements non necessita di niente dal computer su cui lavora, se non una porta USB.
L’hard disk portatile è preformattato per Windows e funzionerà direttamente appena lo colleghi al computer. In caso di possessori di apparecchi Mac, ci sarà la necessità di riformattarlo HFS+.
Puoi anche decidere di formattarlo al file system exFAT se desideri utilizzare il drive sia su sistemi Windows che Mac.
Oltre che su computer Windows e Mac, dove l’hard disk funziona senza alcun tipo di problema, il drive è stato testato anche su alcuni altri tipi di piattaforma; ha dato prova di essere altrettanto compatibile.
Sull’Xbox One il WD Elements viene riconosciuto immediatamente dopo essere stato collegato e formattato dalla console di gioco: può essere utilizzato per archiviare giochi, applicazioni e contenuti per la riproduzione. L’hard disk in esame lavora perfettamente anche con router e dispositivi di riproduzione multimediale in network.
Ich habe diese 'Western Digital Elements 1.0 TB' Externe Tragbare Festplatte gekauft, um Backups von meinem Laptop zu erstellen. Beim Benutzen dieser Festplatte ist mir folgendes Aufgefallen:
Positiv:
+ Sehr hohe Datenraten. Ich habe 130Mbit/s an meinem USB 3.0 Port gemessen
+ Kein externes Stromkabel nötig! Bei den älteren Festplatten war dies immer sehr lästig. Man benötigt nur das mitgelieferte USB 3.0 Kabel
+ Festplatte ist sehr kompakt und gut dadurch gut transportierbar!
+ Festplatte macht einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck
+ Sieht sehr stylisch aus
+ Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Negativ:
- Bis jetzt habe ich nichts negatives entdeckt
Fazit:
Wer eine transportierbare und schnelle Festplatte sucht, der ist hier genau richtig! Ich bin vollkommen zufrieden mit diesem Produkt, da ich problemlos von allen meinen wichtigen Dokumenten ein Backup erstellen konnte.
Schnelle Lieferung, gutes Produkt..........................
