Works as expected

With the negative proviso that you do not install the software included on the disc. It slowed my Windows 11 home system down and caused multiple freeze-ups until uninstalled. The discs themselves (I bought two for combination into a "Storage Space") work well, although the "Storage Space" configuration would only work if plugged directly into the PC's USB ports, not if plugged in to a USB router, even a powered one.

Took a little too long to ship which was disappointing since I paid for the quickest shipping but the drive works just great, been continually using it for a month and it's functioning just great and has handled the 3tb i've thrown on it just fine! Definitely a great choice if you're looking to pay less!

Worked as expected

Ordered a 5GB WD Elements for Mac Time Machine backup. Worked so well that I ordered a second WD Elements 5GB for a second Mac. USB is faster that expected and all has been smooth. Happy with my WD purchase and speed of shipment.

Good hard drive, price is good. Don’t install the software or make an account if you have a Mac. The software has trouble seeing the drive and will also scan other connected drives. Just reformat the drive. Dimensions are nice and small and you don’t need a separate power source.

There was something wrong with it from the start. It kept clicking and clicking. Usually that means the hard drive is never going to work. It would not register when the computer was turned on. It was too late for me to get my money back. I don't recommend this item at all.

item damaged severely on delivery. after i had to return it seller refused to send me back the same product at the sale price i bought it at even though it wasn't my fault they packed it poorly causing damage. additionally, they then "ran out" of the item while i was trying to work with their poor customer service so i couldn't even buy it at full price. product would've been great as i already had this same model but seller abs customer service is horrific and would recommend to not order anything from them. just get it from a more trustworthy seller to be safe.

I should have known better... My 3 WD Drives 5t external drives have all lasted about 1.5yrs. Its right when i order a backup drive to transfer they always go un mountable or do not show up on my mac at all. I only bought the same brand for ease of transfer. Ive lost enough data with WD. Im done. I have Lacis that have been working for 12+ years. Think its time to go back
