I bought this 4TB drive to use with time matching on my Mac. So far it has performed flawlessly and at decent speed. Happy with purchase.

Looks good. Nice and compact, plenty fast for what I need it for, good size and price.

I am so glad to get my PC backed up again. I purchased 2 of these, one for my daughters Windows 10 and my Windows 7. The drivers loaded very quickly with no problems. Started Windows backup and a couple hours later it was complete.

4TB storage Compact USB C and adapter

Easy installation.

- Nock on wood. Drive is working great for 3 years now

You can format it to NTFS and you should for fail-safe features like Journalling that are built into NTFS which would help you to recover lost files or fragments thereof. Unless you use Mac products, then don't, cuz Mac OS only reads NTFS but doesn't write to it. Here is an excerpt from superuserDOHcom/questions/257646/why-should-i-use-exfat-over-ntfs-on-removable-media/262304 The mistake in "DOH" is obvious. Basically, "NTFS has journaling which helps ensure the file system can recover from corruption, whereas exFAT does not. So if you use the drive only from Windows PCs and reliability and data integrity are important, such as for archival or backup purposes, NTFS should be used over exFAT."

Delivery was must quicker than anticipated

Works well, way quieter than a normal external drive Run pretty cool in temp too

Very snappy little drive It's not some weird color from the 1980's or 1970's Uses a USB type connector which is good for future proofing Has a Type C to Standard USB adapter for backwards compatibility

Came undamaged in about 2 days from time of order and it was easy to install and xfer all the games/files i wanted to from my xbox to it. I've been buying stuff from new egg since they were just selling computer parts, and they have still yet to disappoint so I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a rig, or just buy anything now that their selection is so vast

No problems with the unit I received. This is the WD unit I have purchased and am well satisfied

Used it to backup folders from my LINUX computer (no formatting necessary). Plugged it into my Windows 10 machine and I can read the files/folders no problem and create new ones. Fast copying and large files also, n.p.

Drive is compact in size, easy to connect and use, and recognized immediately by my PC. This Elements was perfect for my needs of backing up a server, runs flawlessly, doesn't take much time but that will depend upon your particular setup, hardware and backup software or methods. I use multiple drives in rotation, so that we always have one on site and one off site thereby limiting a loss to not more than a day's worth of work.

I used this backup drive, with 2 Dell desktop PCs: -- Dell OptiPlex 9010 Mini-Tower -- Dell XPS Desktop 8960 Mid-Tower As of 2024, USB consists of 4 generations of specifications: USB 1.x, USB 2.0, USB 3.x, and USB 4.
