What customer says about Western Digital WD Elements 2 TB:

"Excellent External Drive" By Mark ( 5.0 out of 5 stars

)

The Western Digital WD Elements is probably most notable for what it doesn't have:

It doesn't have any clever "look at me" flasing/glowing/blinking lights. One tiny light in the back will confirm it is on. But you won't need to check because "it just works".

It doesn't have any annoying, auto-loading, "I know better" software. There are lots of great backup programs available (freeware, shareware and built into most operating systems). And, of course, you can always just drag-and-drop files right onto the drive.

It doesn't get hot. Heat is a killer for electronics so that is even more important than you might think.

It doesn't make ANY sound.

It doesn't take up much space. It is smaller and more compact than any other external drive that I have purchased.

It doesn't have any goofy stands or attachments. It is squared on all sides except the back so you can position it any way you want to.

And finally, it doesn't cost much. Considering drive space for cost this is the best value I have ever gotten on a drive.

For reference I have purchased two Seagate Freeagent drives, a 1 TB MyBook and have put several old drives into external drive enclosures. All of them are still working. I also have passing experience with several others from work and associates -- I like the WD Elements solution the best!
