Western Digital make quality HDDs and this device is no different: it worked straight out-of-the-box and should prove reliable if my past experiences with WD products is to be relied upon. However, the enclosure is extremely cheap-looking and flimsy and, somewhat laughably, it has a power switch which doesn't work on the Elements package. If you want to power-down the device you have to pull out the power plug after having 'ejected' the device from within Windows or whatever OS you are using. This is the kind of poor design one sees in Chinese products rather than products from the likes of WD. Omitting a power button is one thing but, installing one that doesn't work - I mean really folks at WD, do you not have any pride in your brand. Recommended nonetheless.

Decent capacity for a good price. I have 3 WD ext HD' of varying capacities going back over 5 years. All of them have lasted so far and not failed. I tried previous brands of hard drives prior to this and when the 1st 2 failed I opened them up them to find they had seagate drives. 3 external seagate ext HD failed as well as 3 internal seagate drives (in both my nas and tower comp). I do have a seagate backup plus which thus far has lasted years in a multitude of conditions. I switched to WD and have not had a problem with a single one of their drives yet. Transfer speed is good. I did read a long time ago WD MAY encrypt the hard drive, so if the drives fail and you want to access the info by removing it and connecting to a PC (sata or USB dock) you may not able to do so. I do not know if this is the case but it remains in my mind.
