    • Western Digital 22TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive Review
Capacity: 18TB Style: Desktop
Review Image by Amazon Customer Amazon Customer
If you’re in search of reliable and expansive external storage solutions, look no further than the Western Digital 18TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive. With its impressive capacity and dependable performance, this external hard drive is a game-changer for content creators, graphic designers, and video editors alike. I recently purchased the 18TB variant of this external hard drive, and I must say, I’m thoroughly impressed. Prior to making this investment, I had experienced the unfortunate demise of a competitor’s 12TB drive. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve all my data, but it was a stark reminder of the importance of choosing a reliable brand. Western Digital has proven itself to be just that – reliable. Unlike my previous experience with another brand that exhibited concerning cracking sounds, this Western Digital drive operates quietly and smoothly, a testament to its solid engineering and durability. What’s particularly appealing about Western Digital’s lineup is the wide range of capacities available, ranging from 4TB all the way up to a whopping 22TB. As a content creator with demanding storage needs, having access to such expansive capacities is essential for backing up my work and ensuring I never run out of space. Speaking of which, as a content creator, graphic designer, and video editor, storage space vanishes in the blink of an eye. That’s why having a high-capacity external hard drive like the Western Digital 18TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive is an absolute necessity. It not only provides ample space for storing large media files and project backups but also offers peace of mind knowing that my valuable work is securely backed up. In fact, I’m so impressed with this external hard drive that I’m already considering upgrading to the 22TB model in the near future. After all, when it comes to safeguarding my creative assets, there’s no such thing as too much storage. In conclusion, if you’re a content creator, graphic designer, or video editor in need of reliable and spacious external storage, I highly recommend Western Digital’s Elements Desktop External Hard Drives. Trust me, it’ll make your life a whole lot easier and your workflow much more efficient. ... show more

    • Expansive Storage with a Simple Hack: My Review of this Versatile External Hard Drive
Capacity: 20TB Style: Desktop
TLDR: This external hard drive offers an abundance of storage space, perfect for archiving large files not frequently accessed. While it's not the fastest for tasks like gaming, its ample storage is a major plus. Additionally, the drive can be shucked for direct computer installation, with a simple modification required. I absolutely appreciate the vast storage capacity of this external hard drive. It's incredibly convenient for offloading large files that I don't need to access regularly, effectively decluttering my primary storage. This drive has been a significant asset in managing my digital space. One point to note, especially for gamers or those needing quick access times, is that this isn't the fastest drive on the market. So, expect longer loading times for intensive applications like gaming. An interesting feature is the ability to shuck the drive and install the HDD directly into your computer, saving USB ports and utilizing internal space. Though this process involves covering a connector with heat-resistant tape, it's far less daunting than it sounds. A quick search on YouTube for a tutorial simplifies this process, making it accessible even for those not deeply tech-savvy. In summary, this drive is a fantastic buy, especially when found on sale. Its enormous storage capacity and versatility in use make it a valuable addition for anyone needing extra digital space. ... show more

    • Good solid drive with lots of space
Capacity: 16TB Style: Desktop
I have four of these WD Elements external drives and they have been flawless. They are easy to set up via plug and play and were quickly recognized by my Windows 10 machine. I run a small laser specialty company and depend on these drives to store all of my design files as well as backups. Highly recommend. ... show more

    • Good harddrive one major flaw
Capacity: 18TB Style: Desktop
This external harddrive is probably the best deal for the size you are able to get. One major flaw of this harddrive is that it goes to sleep if you leave it on and it will reboot itself making terrible noise. Additionally the desktop also tends to think that this drive is part of the main storage which causes confusion and delay in updating how much actual storage you have in your computer. I've had multiple times of running out of space in my main storage drive because this confusion screwing up any rendering if you are editing or whatever your needs that requires active space in your main drive. This problem occured all of the same external drives i've purchased and not just one. ... show more
