WD Elements 500 GB

I have bought WD Elements Desktop 500 GB USB external hard drive recently. It is my first external hard drive, however, the need of it existed much earlier. I wanted other WD hard drive, however, this one wholesaler had in Lithuania and could be delivered to the shop following day, while another one existed only in Sweden and could be delivered only after several weeks. I decided that I couldn't wait any more.

The main purpose of this hard drive is back-up storage, however, it has enough space for other purposes (data which I can lost, however needs more space). This hard drive is very simple. It even doesn't have switch to on/off manually. It has no more functions than simple internal hard drive. However, it is very simple to use. You can just add it to USB connection and external power supply to power and you are ready to use (it is formatted fat by default and MS Windows see 465 GB of free space). In idle it is barely warm, under full load the hard drive is much warmer but not very hot. One more disadvantage is quite loud performance. You probably will not hear it if you computer works not very silently too, but otherwise noise is clear. Blue LED indicates that the hard drive works, there is also a green LED on the power supply. That's all about WD Elements this time.
