WD 10TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN

Now this is a real Treat for anyone that has far too many files, games, videos, content, all sorts. :) i always thought they'd be slow until i realized the external power plug takes the weight off the computer this is super fast! and a lovely bonus is i can run steam games off it. Gigabyte large steam games. it can become a permentant part of my pc setup! Thank you so much!

Really disappointed no UK plug so had to spend another 10 or so pounds to have the UK plug This should be written in the first bullet point

Beware! Being Western Digital this is a great drive, quick, rekliable and trustworthy, BUT it is supplied with an American 110 volt power unit. I don't know if this is legal or not but it is certainly dangerous! If you buy this drive, which is actually very good value, you will also need to buy a British mains unit. WD do these themselves or there are sevreal availble from Amazon - I bought a MyVolt unti which works perfectls https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07N8L9JRQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1. Prices vary from aroun £12 to £14.

Pros > As described. Seems okay to me. > See CrystalDiskInfo for the details. > Purchased for £160! Cons > No one else seems to have read the description! This is a US product, so comes with a US plug. Use a US>UK converter plug. > Seems a little noisey but that's probaby no different to other drives. > Bought when this cost £130, but with added import changes cost £160. An unexpected bump in the price, but otherwise liveable.

This product is a product for the US market and has a US plugged power supply. I could use another power supply but I am concerned about invalidating warranty. AMAZON NEEDS TO MAKE IT MUCH CLEARER WHEN PRODUCTS THEY ARE SELLING WILL NOT CONNECT TO THE UK POWER SUPPLY WITHOUT SOME ADDITIONAL PURCHASE OR MODIFICATION.

Very good item and has worked well

Just opened the package and no uk plug which considering the product was on the uk site is very disappointing as i will not be able to use the drive until i can source one.

The HDD was supplied with an American power adapter. The adapter hasn't been certified for use in the UK/EU (CE mark is missing for starters), and should therefore not have been sold in the UK.

Functions super!

EDIT (3-01-2023): Lo sigo utilizando, de hecho ya incluso tuve un accidente de que se me cayó de una mesa hasta el suelo y no se descompuso. Lo sigo recomendando ampliamente, pero definitivamente lo ideal sería que no se arriesguen a ningún accidente que se los dañe. Estoy pensando comprar otro próximamente porque ya prácticamente lo llené. Lo acabo de recibir y ya me puse a copiarle cosas, trasnfiere alrededor de 200mb/s, esta funcionando muy bien y pues la prueba del tiempo dirá (hasta hoy en día ningún disco duro que he comprado me ha fallado por lo que espero este no sea diferente). Lo recomiendo bastante sobre todo si esta en oferta, una ganga si les sale barato ya que seguro para un uso regular les puede durar varios años. La operación es igual a la de cualquier otro disco duro que he usado, basicamente plug and play y pues los materiales se sienten básicamente iguales a los de cualquier otro disco duro, con tener el cuidado de no golpearlo ni nada sobre todo estando en operación debiera de durar muchos años. Lo que ahora me 'sorprendió' de este es que tiene un botón como de encendido/apagado que todavía no se para que sirve, pero esperaría que es para apagarlo en algún momento cuando lo desconectas de la computadora o algo así, o tal vez para poderlo apagar sin tener que mover cables, ya lo probaré próximamente pero en general no le doy importancia a eso, con que la calidad lo respalde para mi es más que suficiente. Supongo que vale la pena aclarar que los 'tera' bytes se cuentan más bien por cantidad de bytes sin convertirlos en realidad a terabytes, osea tera es en cuanto a prefijo multiplicador, osea como mega es millón, giga es mil millones y tera es billones, entonces son 10 billones de bytes, pero al convertirlo viendo que 1024 bytes es un kilobyte y asi sigues dividiendo hasta llegar a los Tb, verías la cantidad final de 9.09 Tb que es lo que trae el disco. Si necesitas más de esa cantidad de almacenamiento, busca otra opción.

いつも業務で使用しており、外付けHDDでは信頼している。ただ、近年金額が上がり過ぎているのでHDDケースタイプへの切り替えを検討中。

Ist meine 5. Platte von WD und läuft ohne Probleme und ohne Geräuschentwicklung. Sehr überrascht war ich wie mein Vorredner vom Netzteil. Adapter von Hama gekauft und passt; wackelt auch nicht, nur nimmt er auf der Strom-Steckerleiste mehr Platz ein. Werde mal ein neues Netzteil von KesCom ausprobieren. Ich nutze WD-Platten seit 5 Jahren und noch funktionieren sie alle bestens. Bin begeistert.

OK, I admit it. I bought one of these from Amazon Warehouse, "Excellent condition, packaging marked." I needed to replace an aging Hitachi 3 TB "bookcase" external HDD which was making noises like an old steam engine on its way out. This drive was easy to set up - I connected it to a port in my notebook dock - and I had no problems in partitioning the drive and setting up backups to it. it's extremely quiet, quite fast, and is a much smaller package (for a 3-1/2" drive) than the old 3 TB external drive its replacing. I've been running error checks and data comparisons since buying it about 2 months ago, and I've had no problems of any kind. When the drive arrived, I could not actually see anywhere that the packaging was defaced, and everything inside appeared to be unopened. The Warehouse price was a considerable saving over the "new" price, and I wasn't quite sure what I might receive. In any case, everything works, and works well. This was an excellent value purchase, especially for a large external drive. I try to stick to brand name drives, and WD drives have always given good service. This was a great deal all around, and this drive is compact and quiet. If they had another one at this price, I'd probably buy it for my other workstation. Certainly I'll be keeping an eye out. Two thumbs up. UPDATE FEB 1, 2023: My original review stands as is; the drive has worked, quietly and flawlessly since buying it in 2021. I partitioned the HDD, approximately "2/3 Data & 1/3 Backup" and that's worked out well. I've only needed to restore from Backup once, but it was seamless and all worked as it should. Around the end of November 2022, I bought a second one of the same model "Desktop" external HDD. It's also partitioned, and the data storage is from a newer machine at full USB 3.0 speed. I can say (happily) that there are no problems. Both of these drives are extremely quiet, run very cool, and do the job they're intended for. These are not a substitute for a "shirt pocket" 2.5" USB-powered portable external drive - just the fact that each has a separate AC power supply makes them "stay put" devices. Incidentally, unlike some AC adapters I've known, the adapter supplied with each of these runs very cool, as they should. They also (miracle of miracles) have the AC connector arranged so that the adapter will sit at a 90-degree angle from a 110VAC outlet or most power bars, which means that they don't cover up other AC outlets. It's a simple thing, but very much appreciated. I purchased my 2nd of this model HDD during the "Black Friday" sale, so the price was 15-20% lower than "list" - finding something you need anyway, and then on sale is a bonus. The elderly Hitachi 3 TB drive mentioned in my original review has retired, although I check its functioning about once a month, since it holds documents that might still be needed. It did yeoman service and for its time, was at the higher end of the technology pool. That said, both of these WD 6TB (actually about 5.8 TB) drives are smaller, quieter, cooler, and have much faster i/o than the earlier generation unit. They do come with a high-grade data cable, but it's only about 1 metre/3ft. long. Should you need more length, it's well worth the small extra investment to buy a high-quality data cable, rather than "cheapest." I try to keep cable lengths as short as is practical, since there is a measurable loss of data transfer speed when a long cable is used. Fortunately, not a problem in this case. I have no hesitation in giving this unit 5 stars - I liked the performance of my first purchase that I bought another - admittedly for a specific job, but still excellent in all respects. This is not the cheapest drive available, but the cost is money well spent. Five more stars.
