Top Rated Gear: WD 1TB Elements SE Portable USB 3.0 Hard Drive

This does everything I thought it would do and has a small size that is convenient and easy to transport. I do not have USB 3 in the computer I am using, yet the speed of transfer is excellent through USB 2. I have had many WD external drives and all are still working fine after many years. I highly rate it.

Compact, Convenient

The perfect back-up drive for your laptop to safeguard your data, your photos etc. It is quite small and can hold lots of data. It is highly recommended, especially if you take your laptop or tablet on the road. Excellent speedy service from Adorama - the perfect place to order this mini marvel of technology. If your laptop has the newer USB 3.0, the back-up speeds will be really fast.

A Must-Have

I use the drive every day. It is fast, requiring no drivers, simply plug and play. The drive is about 3/4 inches thick, not bad for so much storage.

Great addition.

Does what it is supposed to do. Great companion for time machine and small enough to take with you everywhere

Great little hard drive!

Excellent price for a compact, easy to use external drive with a lot of capacity!

Great price!

Works perfectly

I had the same WD drive but 500GB USB 2.0 and it worked great for years, and it is still... I purchased this one 1TB USB 3.0 and sold the older one to a friend.

So far so good

I did partition, so I use it as a backup and additional storage. very light and portable,

Good Drive

I use the drive for extra storage and file transfer. I love the portability factor! I wish it had more connectivity options though.

Great product for a great price.

good drive small and portable

This is a great HD if you just need some extra storage. I've had some bad luck with WD HDDs, so I don't personally use them for anything that is sensitive (e.g., daily backups).  I'm using this drive as additional storage for my Wii U, and I have another one just like it being used as storage for a DIY DVR.  In both of these applications, a HDD failure isn't the end of the world.  I can re-download games on the Wii U, and if a show is gone on the DVR, it's not that bad.  I would never use this drive (or any WD HDDs) to hold backups or primary media (e.g., iTunes library).  For those applications, I always go with Seagate drives.  YMMV, but I've had better reliability with those drives.  However, in all cases where a WD HDD has failed, WD has been very fast and responsive in replacing the drive (if it's under warranty, which mine all were).

Good HD, Great Price

I use the product for video transfers and watching them on a tv, its very compatible. Love how small the size is.

best deal for a great item

I'm using this external drive as a backup device. Works flawlessly and contains a lot of storage space. Compact and quiet, does the job admirably. No cons come to mind.

Great Value

It does exactly what it's supposed to. Very affordable and provides more than enough space. I couldn't ask for a better hard drive for the price.
