    The drive works excellent for what it is

    As a high capacity backup disk this works great. It isn't the fastest drive for performance however that isn't what you are going to be after with an external USB drive at this capacity. No issues with bad sectors eta and easy to setup, just plug and play.

    I’ve never bought a hard drive that didn’t eventually have issues but I still stick with WD Easystore every time. The installation was super easy and it usually reads right away without much of a wait time. I’d definitely continue to buy WD hard drives...

    I bought this to backup my computer on and it works fine for that. I have a my book and was not certain what the difference was with the elements. Apparently the elements does not offer the ability to have password locking of the drive as the my book does. If you are concerned about someone stealing your drive I would opt for the my book to have the password login.

    It took me about one week to combine three internal/external HD to this 12TB. No errors occurred. The other brand was so unreliable that I exchanged three times in two years but they all failed. I only purchased WD once I switched more than two years ago.

    Works fine but noisy, hot, and little slow reading

    Runs a little hot and sometimes takes a while to read its contents through USB 3.0, and can get a like noisy sometimes when the fan starts spinning up to read or write content. Otherwise it’s a decent spinning platter hard drive and gets the job done at a pretty good price.

    Great price, but lacking durability

    This Hard Drive is affordable. That's the best thing about it. But it's quite sensitive/delicate in its build and lacks durability. I have had several WD 12TB drives and make sure not to tip them over or accidentally unplug them from a Mac without first ejecting them or they will crash and a good chance you will lose your data.
