Product reviewsWD Elements Portable 1TB External HDD USB3

Very Handy Portable Hard Drive

I have 2 of these portable Western Digital 1tb Hard Drives. These drives are well built and great value for the money. Very quiet and so far very reliable. Small enough to comfortably fit in a pocket. the only gripe I have is that the lead could have been a bit longer but that's just a minor issue. Would I recommend them to my friends ??? Yes I would 110%. Read full review...

Recover storage space on my laptop onto this external hard drive and still have access to my older files and photos.

Running out of storage space on my laptop. Moved old files and photos to this external hard drive and still have access whenever I want.

WD 1TB HDD. Very pleased to have purchsed it at a really good price. *****

I'm using this as a PVR on my Samsung TV. It is working beautifully......... Note: My Samsung TV uses an XFS file system that encrypts/codes the recording so that it can only be played back on the one unique Samsung TV. The only drawback is that if the file corrupts ( e.g. due to a power cut ), then the TV refuses to read the HDD and demands reformatting hence loss of the saved recordings. (You can still see the files via a Linux Ubuntu PC, but I don't know how to restore the XFS system. ***** A TV problem : - not a HDD problem *****. This drive excels. Very satisfied.Read full review...

Remember Me

Compact, quiet and high capacity storage for archive and backup data. A reliability rating will need some time to register.

Quiet and reliable.

This hard drive works as intended straight out of the box. Plug in the USB slot and click on the drive shown. Change the format if required and download files. Perfect.

I use this for storing my video files and playing them through Blue Ray DVD Player on my Sony TV. It works perfect.This has to be formatted FAT32 system. Some gave me lot of trouble like the ones 'Limited Storage, or formatted wrongly, and varied or limted capacity to accept files.' There are distinct problematic behaviour on some which I do not quite understand

Portable drive

Plug and play, physically small, does the job as intended, no downside discernible up to press.

For Wii U

Decided to get it for a Wii U. Did have to get a y cable, but it's great. Easy plug and play, great storage size, and easily put anywhere due to its compact size.
