2TB Elements SE - Portable SSD, USB 3.0, Compatible with PC, Mac - WDBAYN0020BBK-WESN

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!

I had a Toshiba (at left in the photo) legacy USB drive and it just crashed. It not only crashed but it is completely non-recoverable. Every file is lost. I used every Linux trick I know and it's toast. This WD is the replacement. It took only a couple of minutes to re-partition the new drive to ext4 (for Linux) and I ran my end-of-day backup routine much faster than I had experienced in the past. It is not as fast as my internal SSDs (I have two) but it's remarkably faster than a legacy USB HD. Minuscule footprint and weighs nothing. It's also thin and would easily fit in a front jeans pocket. I am upset that I lost some files but I am glad that it happened. It looks like the traditional HDD is fast becoming a thing of the past.

I bought this hard drive almost 2 years ago. This hard drive do not give any kind of problems and very small for the amount of data I use it for. No noise. Installation is just plug in. Also very durable. I cannot complain.

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.

As expected slow. But a bit more than expected. When used on Windows PC it is fine and not hot. But when transferring data it tends to get hot. But safe level. But when I use it on mac it a bit hot even on idle. May be it can be method of mac using power management. I am just a user so cannot share temperature, speed etc. Over all very satisfying its small, lots of data can be stored, and can be in my trouser pocket. So far Happy user

Great little SSD drive! Very fast and easy to use. The size is smaller then a pack of gum. Easy to connect with the provided cable. Sleek design.

WD gives reliable drives at excellent prices.

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.

こんなにコンパクトでいいの！？と最初は思いましたが、慣れるとこのサイズじゃないと大きすぎる気がします。動作も高速ですし、2年近く毎日使っていますが問題なし。素晴らしい商品だと思います。

Para ser mi primer SSD externo, me dio muy buena impresión, su velocidad de lectura y escritura es muy buena, el tamaño es realmente sorprendente más pequeño que una tarjeta de crédito o débito. Si piensas adquirir un ssd, en relación precio-calidad, te conviene adquirirlo. En unos meses daré mi opinión respecto a su durabilidad.

Petit, légé mais tout en plastique....il fait le taf !

Veramente ottimo !!
