Excellent for expanding capacity of main drive
Plugged it into the fast USB port on my HP All in One Computer. Easy setup. Works great. Unloaded my big picture and video files from my main hard drive. Works great. Very fast.

As advertised
What is there to say? It works. It's small and thin if that's a concern. I haven't tested for speed. Seems as fast, if not faster than a Samsung SSD I have. The only question is longevity and hopefully it'll be a few years before that question is answered.

Fast and compact (2.5 in x 2.5 in)
This is a big improvement from my 10-year old external hard drive. I was able to backup everything from my PC in just a few minutes instead of hours. This saved me a lot of time. It does get a little hot (so do my other external hard drives), but it is not an issue for me since I only use it for backing up my data. In short, it is compact (2.5”x2.5”) and fast. I am happy with the purchase!

Vibrates from spinning slow to spin up.
It's the fastest HDD I own although slowest to spin up complete it's self check and let you access it but at least it's not a horrible smr drive. it vibrates the surface it's on so I put it on a washcloth and it's a little better but I have it on the floor and I can hear it downstairs. The vibration is from spinning. the noise from head movements is not too bad. It's designed to stand up so the heat comes out the top vents but make sure you have it somewhere it won't topple over. Honestly i don't know why WD doesn't work with Microsoft to make the experience better. The engineers should be forced to use their own products. If it's always attached to your PC and you reboot if the drive is in standby it spins up to write data before shutting down. Now let's say you disable it so the bios doesn't try to access your drive well it doesn't matter cause windows will try upon booting so you have to wait for it to spin back up anyway. Anytime you have to reboot it will add minutes to the process and lots of extra spin ups which is not good for your drive. heaven forbid your doing updates and you have to reboot more than once. They need to speed up the spin up process (what's with that self check?) and don't have it spin down so much unnecessarily. anytime you try to access the drive if it's spun down the process trying to do so will freeze till it comes up. if you go into device manager for USB storage you can remove the checkmark for windows turning off the drive then it seems to actually do what you set in the power control settings. Despite these downsides the drive has been durable and trustworthy easy to install and bring your data with you and the cheapest way to have a lot of data and avoid the bit rot of an SSD. Just make sure you always safely remove it and keep it away from magnets. if you have a ups plug it in.

Small but mighty
This is my first SSD external hard drive, I’m shocked how small it is considering it’s a 2 TB capacity drive. Installation was quick and easy, it takes no space on my desktop, I hide it behind the computer. Since it runs on USB there’s no power cord, which is great. I’m using it with a 2017 iMac. So far so good I was able to transfer the data from a backup to the drive really fast with no hiccups.

BEST VALUE EXTERNAL SSD
This seems to be the best value external ssd you can get at the moment. It's just the perfect sweet spot between convenience, storage space, speed, and of course, pricing. I bought one on sale at first, then got two more to replace all of my old external hard drives.

Easy to use, convenient storage
This is our second purchase, so we can have a secondary backup of the first one, to keep at a different location. I've been nothing but happy with these little drives so far. Super convenient, easy to store, they function quickly and efficiently.

I've been buying these for the past couple of years as I move away from HDDs. Unless you're in a hurry, keep an eye on these because the price fluctuates regularly and you might get a bargain if you can wait.

Ne ho acquistato due pezzi e poi anche un terzo per un backup su alcuni pc e il risultato è sensazionale. Velocità di spostamento e solidità sono la garanzia di questi HD. La cosa che poi mi soddisfa è il fatto che sono davvero tanto leggeri. Si possono portare facilmente dietro. 💎 - QUALITA': Cover totalmente in plastica robusta. Riesce a sopportare botte e cadute. Eccellente la velocità di immagazzinamento dei dati. Ottima nell'apertura dei file presenti sull'HD. Voto: 5 Stelle! 🔎 - INSTALLAZIONE: Non necessita di installazione perchè è un Plug&Play Voto: 5 Stelle! 💲💲💲 - RAPPORTO QUALITA'/PREZZO: Il prezzo è ottimo rispetto alla qualità del prodotto. Voto: 5 Stelle! 👍🏻 - VOTO COMPLESSIVO - Tenendo conto di tutti questi particolari, il voto che complessivamente diamo a questo prodotto è: Voto: 5 Stelle

El que me ha llegado en Mayo de 2022 lleva dentro un disco WD80EMZZ (CMR) de 128MB de caché de 5640 rpm. El disco funciona fresco y rápido. Parece ser una variante de los HGST por lo que he leído por ahí. No tengo queja, no sé como irá por USB porque yo lo he extraído (cuando comprobé que funcionaba bien) para usarlo directamente por SATA. No me gustan los cable micro usb 3.0, me parecen muy endebles. Imagino que en la carcasa de plástico y poco ventilado se calentará bastante si se le hace trabajar en serio, quiero decir copiar seguidos varios TB de datos. Donde lo tengo instalado lleva horas escribiendo datos y no pasa de 36ºC. Información SMART correcta. Todo bien. Buen shuck de 8TB por 159€. Actualizo: He comprado también el de 10TB (JUL-2022-199€). Lleva un WD101EDBZ, de 7200RPM, CMR, y se calienta bastante dentro de la caja de plástico, unos 30 grados por encima de la temperatura ambiente y en idle. Es una barbaridad pero también lo esperaba, estos discos es mejor ponerlos en una carcasa o un NAS con ventilación. He comprobado que el disco esta bien y va rápido, en cuanto se enfríe lo saco de su prisión para ponerlo en el NAS que estará mas fresquito. He comprado también uno de 14TB, y lleva dentro una unidad NAS de 7200rpm, relleno de Helio modelo HGST WD140EDGZ, bastante rápido y silencioso, una joya, tengo que decirlo, el disco más rápido y silencioso que he tenido nunca. Lo mismo se aplica al de 16TB que lleva un WD160EDGZ y que compré en los prime days de OCT-2022 por 272.99€, un chollazo. Tengo que añadir que la versión de 16TB es un poco ruidosa al arrancar, el sistema de autocalibración de los brazos hace un sonido grave bastante audible, no es desagradable ni estridente y solo lo hace al arrancar. Aún así es un poco más sonoro en funcionamiento que el de 14TB, acercándose a los de 8TB. Actualizo: Hay una característica de los discos de gran capacidad llamada PWL (Preventive wear leveling) que últimamente se implanta en todos los discos de calidad y por todos los fabricantes que ocasiona un movimiento de las cabezas de lectura cada 5 segundos aproximadamente cuando el disco está inactivo, para evitar que el desgaste de las pistas al mantener el cabezal en la misma posicion, y para mantener el lubricante de los ejes homogeneo. Al llevar los cabezales a una posición aleatoria lejana cada 5 segundos se produce una vibración mas o menos sonora según el anclaje del disco al chasis. Esto es una característica de los discos modernos y no debe ser equivocada con los clicks de la muerte chirriantes, largos y que se producen incluso durante momentos activos del disco. Este sonido es normal, periodico, grave, e indica el funcionamiento normal del disco evitando el desgaste no uniforme. No creais que comprando otra marca vais a estar a salvo de ese ruidito PWL, todos los fabricantes de discos lo implementan actualmente en discos gordos dado que incrementa la duración y fiabilidad del disco, aún a costa de hacer un pelín de ruido. Casi me vuelvo loco investigando esto hasta que encontré una explicación razonable. Quería ahorraros el trabajo si lo habéis observado y os preocupa, así que tranquilos, es así por diseño, y tiene su explicación. Añado (13-02-2023): Después de haber usado a conciencia 24/7 los discos de 8/10/14/16TB Me quedo sin duda con los de 14TB. Rápidos, silenciosos, espaciosos y con buena calidad/precio. Estos discos de helio de 14TB son los mejores que he tenido nunca. Seguiré comprando el modelo de 14TB para rellenar los NAS mientras los necesite y se puedan encontrar, que se va poniendo dificil...
