What this drive is and who it suits

The Western Digital Elements portable hard drive provides 1TB of storage in a 2.5" black enclosure. It connects through a USB 3.0 interface and is formatted NTFS for Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. The package includes the drive, a USB cable and a quick install guide.

Who should consider it and who should not

This drive suits Windows users who need a lightweight, plug-and-play way to carry up to 1TB of files between machines. Buyers who want hardware encryption, ruggedised construction or a USB-C connector should look elsewhere, as those features are not present.

The specification that decides fit

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 interface. When connected to a USB 3.0 port the drive delivers its maximum transfer rate, which is noticeably faster than USB 2.0. On a USB 2.0 port it will still work but at the lower speed.
