Whether you’re archiving massive video projects, backing up your entire photo library, or managing large-scale data workflows, this drive handles it all with ease.What I love:• 💾 Massive Capacity: With 14TB of space, it’s like having a digital warehouse at your fingertips. Ideal for creatives, gamers, and anyone juggling large files.• ⚡ Reliable Performance: The drive runs smoothly over USB 3.0, offering fast transfer speeds for a traditional HDD. It’s not SSD-fast, but for bulk storage, it’s more than sufficient.• 🔌 Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Setup is effortless—just connect and go. No complicated software or formatting headaches.• 💰 Excellent Value: At around 1.3 cents per gigabyte during deals A, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your storage.• 🖤 Minimalist Design: The sleek black casing fits unobtrusively into any workspace. It’s a no-frills look, but it gets the job done.Things to note:• It’s a desktop-style drive, so it requires external power—not ideal for travel.• Some users report mild noise and heat during extended use B, but nothing out of the ordinary for a high-capacity HDD.Overall, the WD 14TB external drive is a dependable workhorse. If you need serious storage without breaking the bank, this is a smart buy. I’d recommend it to anyone who values capacity, simplicity, and solid performance.

Good drive! You’ll buy it.
First order of business: I ordered this drive (WD Elements 5tb) and received it in about 18 hours. I checked the shipping label, and it is their proprietary delivery service. USPS, take note.The box it came in was pretty regular, no fancy presentation. Which is fine. I don’t like paying for felt lining.It has one port on the back, and comes with a USB cable. I plugged it into my laptop and checked it out.Drive capacity actually reads 4.54 Tb. Which isn’t unusual for larger volumes. It came formatted as NTFS. Which is great, because FAT32 has a file size limit of 4gb.Next test: I plugged it into a 3.0 Anker USB Data Hub. The drive revved up, then started clicking. I recognized those clicks as motor failures from a power drop, so the USB hub is not going to do it. This beast of a portable drive needs a main-line. It can be used in USB 3.0 or 2.0 But I highly encourage 3 for faster speeds. Especially with a volume this size (You are buying it for a reason, right?)Next test: A phone mount. Similar to a Samsung Dex setup, the device I used is a Baseus USB C mount. It connects my Note10+ phone to HDMI, and…for this test…a USB 3.0 port. I wasn’t sure if it would work, because the hub charges the phone, and would have to “lend” some power to the 3.0 port to power the drive. It worked. I plugged it in, and my exFAT/NTFS app fired right up. It recognized the drive, mounted it, and was ready to go. For the technical folks out there, this was by powering the phone dock with a samsung travel adapter that came with my phone. It has a variable output, but can pack a whopping 11v-2.25a (24 watts) at its highest. This 24 watts was enough to fast charge my phone, AND have the drive running.Final test: Directly into the note10+. I used a USB C – USB A adapter that came with my phone and connected them together. It worked. My phone was powering the darn thing.So there we have it. This little pocket sized drive (seriously, my wallet is larger) can be plugged into 3.0, 2.0 or directly into my phone. It came formatted NTFS, just the way I prefer.Description: I purchased a black one. As I said, it is wallet-sized. It has one port for the cable, and a small status light. The light appears to stay a solid color for both standby and active. A power failure results in a blinking status light. When the drive is spinning, you can feel a humming purr, barely audible. The casing is plastic, but solid and sleek looking. It has four non-slip dots on the bottom.Pros: Huge storage for the price, powered through USB only, NTFS formatted, small.Cons: None discovered yet.Recommended Uses: This would be a perfect drive for home network storage, office/school/home work. It would also be ideal for gaming consoles even as modern as the XBox One X. Or a handy volume for torrents. Or a handy volume for backing up a system or family photos.Possible Uses: It runs on 3.0. While Pro Gamers might chuckle at the idea, it could be used as a Steam Library. Initial load times might be slower than a built in solid state drive, sure. But so what? This is 5Tb. Portable. For under 120. It could also be used for beginner-level production. Again, it is slower than a dedicated solid state drive, of course. But for a new youtuber, or designer, or developer…this can store a lot of content.

From a good seller….Excellent performance….*****(5 stars for Amazon)…?

Gran capacidad y calidad 100% recomendado

I recently purchased the WD 4TB Elements Portable USB 3.0 High Capacity Hard Drive and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The drive is compact and easy to use – just plug it into my computer’s USB port and I’m good to go. The 4TB of storage is more than enough for my needs, and the transfer speeds are reasonable for a standard 5400rpm HDD..One thing that initially concerned me was the drive’s tendency to get hot during use. However, I have used it extensively over the past few weeks and have not experienced any issues with overheating.In terms of value, I believe the WD 4TB Elements Portable USB 3.0 High Capacity Hard Drive offers excellent value for the price and the high capacity and decent transfer speeds make it well worth the investment. If you need a lot of storage on the go and are looking for a reliable and high-performance option, I highly recommend the WD 4TB Elements Portable USB 3.0 High Capacity Hard Drive.
