Model overview based on user reviews
The WD Elements Portable 3.0 2.5" hard drive is praised for its compact design, large storage capacity, and quiet operation. Many users appreciate its fast data transfer speeds and reliability for long-term storage, with some having used it for several years without issues. However, there are concerns about its durability, as several users reported the drive failing unexpectedly after a few months of use. The short USB cable is a common complaint, and the included software is often criticized for being a limited trial version. Despite these issues, many users find it a good value for money and suitable for backing up data and media storage. Some users have experienced excellent customer service, receiving replacements for faulty units. Overall, while the drive is generally well-received, potential buyers should be aware of the mixed reviews regarding its longevity.

It's not clear yet. I just bought it the day before yesterday and connected it once to see SMART. As of today, November 5, 2017, there are 105 reviews on this propeller on the website nadavi.com.ua, of which 1/3 are negative, 2/3 are positive. Before that I used similar WD screws for 350 Gig, and then for 1 TB. I have been using the latter since January 2013, i.e., almost 5 years. The design and engineering of the casing surprised me. It is biconvex. Both the lid and the bottom of the box, which contains the drive, are. Yes, it is visually appealing, but try to place it properly on its legs. The adhesive rubber legs are sized: diameter 4 mm, height about 1.5-2 mm. However, the height of the legs is insufficient, and they don't reach the supporting surface, so the box with the hard drive just spins on the "belly" of the convex bottom of the case! No stability on the supporting surface! Probably, so it would fall more often. ;-) It seems the manufacturer skimped on the legs. I scoured the internet. It seems that, for this design, legs with a size of: diameter 6 mm, height 3-4 mm would have been suitable. But they are a couple of cents more expensive than those provided by the designers. just bought WD WDBU6Y0020BBK |
That's it, just that's it Absolutely nothing  Sebastian Castellanos: use WD WDBU6Y0020BBK more than year |
Fortunately, I don't have the habit of storing all data in one place. Apart from a few unimportant details, everything was saved. Now I'm sitting here pondering what to do next. Even if they restore this drive for me at the service center or give me a new one instead, I no longer trust such a drive :( I'll be getting one from another company. But first, I'll scour the internet to find out about such issues. Large capacity in a relatively small case. Flash drives are more convenient, but I haven't seen any 2-terabyte models for sale yet. With this, you can make backups and bring tons of movies from friends. It's well-assembled, with a beautiful design. The short cable is convenient for a laptop, with no cable coil on the table. It doesn't make noise or heat up. It supports USB 3.0. You can't do without it with such capacities... It would seem like a disc with all positives, just grab and enjoy. But no... After three weeks of use, it just died. There were no prior reasons for this. It simply wouldn't power on one day and that's it :( Not recognized by any system. Internet searches showed that I'm not the only one who faced this problem. It might be a quite common defect. use WD Elements Portable 3.0 2.5" month or more i recommend it don't buy |

It is still alive. However, I didn't use it actively, mostly as a storage: uploaded files, when needed connected it and transferred files to a tablet/another drive.
Although there were times when I downloaded movies directly onto it and rewrote often. Although my version is 2TB, I can confidently say that at least 12TB has gone through it.
Anyway, I recommend it, it's a great thing, especially for long-term storage.
But if you want something for constant work, it's better to go with an SSD.
