Small and Easy to Use |
|
My old hard drive with less memory was twice the size of this. I was impressed by its small size and simple matte finish. I use it with time machine on an iMac 20". It works great. Easy set-up. My only complaint is the short length of the included mini-usb cable. Why is it so small? It's 12 inches long which is much shorter than the cable on my old drive. Aside from that i'm very happy with it. |

Backup is fundamental! |
|
Got on a smokin' deal on this, the primary purpose for me was to format it FAT32 and use it with my PS3. Since it's very roomy, I can transfer files between work and home, Mac to PC, PVR to PS3 and beyond. Self powered USB bus means no more separate power "brick" to hoist around too, which is huge to me. I have Western Digital hard drives in just about anything that'll take a 2.5" drive, so I do like the brand, value, and reliability. If you too are planning on grabbing a HD for your PS3 to backup to, have a look at my blog post for help on formatting to FAT32: [...] |

Simplicity is king |
There is more than what meets the eyes with this drive. One word: Simple.
The cardboard packaging uses a minimal amount of materials and therefore reduces waste.
The injection-molded plastic allows the users to open and reassemble the internal components easily.
There is not a single screw involved in this unit.
Inside of this drive is a WDC Scorpio Blue drive with the standard SATA connector. This is not to be confused with the WDC Passport Essential. The Essential aims for smaller footprint, so instead of a standard SATA, the printed-circuit board on the hard drive only provides a direct USB 2.0 socket plus a few leads for SATA connection. However, if components on that PC board malfunction, then you'd have to find an identical drive and 'borrow' or 'harvest' the working PC board just to get your data off.
The Elements, if the USB 2.0 bridge is bad, the drive doesn't go down entirely. You can easily pop the drive out and put it into a USB 2.0 enclosure and read your data. This is a good side effect of having a slightly bulkier footprint.
Voiding the warranty or not, no one in the right mind would use a brick (refurbished) provided by the manufacturer as a warranty swap, so I highly recommend those who are still using 320GB or smaller to pull this drive and install it internally, and take the 320GB or smaller out of the notebook and put it into this case and use it as a backup drive. |

Excellent Product |
|
I was debating between this Western Digital portable and the Toshiba Canvio, but I end up buying this one because it was on sale. It's compact, easy to use, and it is cheaper than the Toshiba Canvio. The speed is moderate, works wonderfully, very happy with purchase. |
