Western Digital WD Elements 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive - I work for Computing support at Arizona State University, and I have
enough technical knowledge to be certified as a TECH JUNKIE :).
I am a photographer too, so I have tons of Photos (about
160GB), Videos, Software, Movies and Documentaries. I was looking for a
simple external hard drive without any backup software included, I am
smart enough to do manual incremental backups with file tree structure
intact (I use GOODSYNC to backup, its very simple and easy to use and
free).
I have looked at many many external HDDs and narrowed down to
two models "Samsung Story 1TB - very good one too" and this one (I
wanted it to be cheap too - got this for $85 on [...]). I did not go
with other WD models because of their annoying Backup Software.
Coming to the WD Elements 1TB: Its much smaller than I
expected. It is dead silent, I had to touch it to convince myself that
it was running, when I first turned it on. Its not too heavy either. The
indicator light is placed at the rear, which is a very good thing (I
find these LED's annoying, especially at night).
After I did the first setup, I copied 383GB of data (931GB was
total space). It took about 4hr 47min, speed varied between 20MBps to
37MBps. This is pretty good speed for USB 2.0. It was just a bit warm
(my old segate hard drive would be very very hot for this amount of data
transfer).
I would recommend it to beginners or pros alike. I am very happy with this purchase!
