Model overview based on user reviews  
The WD Elements Desktop is a versatile external hard drive available in various capacities, ranging from 2 TB to 22 TB, making it suitable for extensive storage needs. Users appreciate its large storage capacity, with one reviewer highlighting the 8 TB version as sufficient for storing a wide range of files, including photos, videos, and documents. The drive is noted for its reliability, with one user mentioning a 5 TB model that has lasted over five years. However, some users have pointed out that the drive can be noisy during operation, which might be a consideration for those sensitive to sound. The device features a glossy exterior that can easily smudge and is designed to stand vertically on rubberized feet. It connects via USB 3.0 and includes a power adapter. While its performance may not match SSDs in terms of speed, it effectively fulfills its role as a dependable storage solution.
Pros

Cons

Great, I'm sorry, but saving files is not very quiet
20 December 2023 
For transferring information from an old computer, I purchased this external storage device from several HDD hard drives. I use it for storing various files - photos, videos, music, documents... (The computer has SSD drives installed for work). It sits on a shelf, hums while operating, but it's not critical. The reading speed and response times are so-so compared to SSD, but I knew what I was getting and expected this, so it doesn't bother me. Externally, it's glossy and easily smudged, standing vertically on rubberized feet, connected by two cables - power (power adapter included) and USB 3 - also included. I'm not sure which specific hard drive is inside. It performs the tasks for which this HDD was bought.
8 TB - enough for everything, even if you don’t clean it every hour, and save everything you need and don’t need.
