16 Tb Solid State Drive Ho

This is my second WD 1 TB drive, and I use them to both store and backup photos from my MacBook Pro (with solid-state storage). Even with lots of RAW files, the transfer rate seems fast. It is small, and easily stored when not in use. There is nothing about this drive that I would change.

Solid state drive worth it.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

Great TB value for the buck. Solid drive for archive, backup.

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

This is an extremely reliable and easy to use Solid State Drive. Once initialized it's easy to clone form a Hard Disk Drive to this unit. Take out the old drive, insert this drive, and put your seat belt on.

Large 16 TB drive at a great price. Lacie is a company I've comfortably purchased many drives from.

There are three things you can do to your computer to speed it up. First, try to max out the memory (at least 16 megs). Second, get the fastest hard drive (not ssd*). Third, upgrade the CPU. I listed these in cost, and while its a toss up between memory and hard drive - try memory first. My original computer (an Intel I7 - 16 megs) came with a 1.5 TB hard drive. It was a SATA 1.  It was getting long in the tooth, and was creating drive problems.  I decided to clone it to a 2 TB  SATA drive. The cloning problem choked on the bad sectors.  After doing some research, I successfully cloned the drive.  The clone drive was dragging.  Spying a sale at B&H  I purchase two of the 2TB SATA 3 drives and clone one of them. I then defragged the drive and tested the speed. It was reading and writing better than 5 times the speed of my old SATA 1 drive. No your probably thinking, what about those bad reviews, drive not working and failing.  Well experience has told me, if it works - its great. Problem deal with it. I put the second SATA 3 to work as my back up drive. I created an image of the first drive and use it for the daily backups. And that image has been backed up to a system server. - I can sleep nights, can you? So, in conclusion - I would recommend this drive and make sure you have a copy of Seagates Disk Wizard (its free.) Back up your important data, etc. to two separate locations.

I've been using WD Elements drives for years. Started with a 1 Tb drive and have been working my way up to this 16 Tb drive. Never had one fail. Easy to set up and maintain and, when they're on sale at B&H, they're a real deal.
