    Not reliable. Funktionsverlust ohne Grund.

    Erstes Mal, dass ich so eine schlechte Bewertung gebe / First time, that I give such low score / Première fois, que je donne une si mauvaise note.

    Ich habe zwei portable WD Elements gehabt (eins davon nur 1TB). BEIDE haben
    sich in sehr kurzer Zeit (etwa 2 Jahre) als fast unbrauchbar erwiesen, eine klickendes Geräusch beim Einklinken, keinen Zugang über den USB Kabel. Es hat wohl was mit Spiel im Gehäuse zu tun, das den Leskopf auf den Platter drückt. Habe auch eine Toshiba Festplatte, die wenigstens hält. Keine Entschädiung von WD.

    I had 2 such devices, they BOTH broke in +/- 2 years, not being readable from the PC and performing a clicking sound when connected (they hadn't been moved much previously, this is not linked to a hit). My Toshiba one at least still works. No refund from WD. Hadn't even used them much.

    Après avoir possédé 2 WD elements portable, j'ai perdu beaucoup de données parce que les disques durs ne sont plus accessibles, je pense parce que la tête de lecture s''est enfoncé dans le disque. Les deux ont tenu 2 ans à peu près. Pas de remboursement de la part de WD. Surtout, je ne les ai pas maltraitées, et même peu utilisé, d'où mon agacement.
     

    Contra

    • Quite slow writing, though typical for external hard drives.
    • Absolutely not reliable. Cannot explain reason. Toshiba in the same circumstances coped perfectly.

    Works great.

    On an iMac (late 2012) I achieved 96 MB/s write and 98 MB/s read in the test.

    The 2 TB drive from Toshiba was even slightly faster in the test, and is currently even slightly cheaper. And a little smaller and
    lighter as well.

    Pro:
    - 2tb - maximum possible at the moment
    - Power via USB
    - Price (paid only 100.-, 140.- I find too high)

    Con:
    - surprisingly high weight (thought all WD 2.5" were the same thickness, size and weight. not so).
    -
    surprisingly thick
    - Poor workmanship: only a little plastic around the case, slightly crooked connector

    All in all: for 100.- top, for 140.- flop
    anyone who needs 2tb for cheap will be happy with it.
