Wd Black Vs Seagate External Hard Drive

Protects my WD external hard drive.

2T WD Black internal hdd works great. Use it in my external hard drive shell with a esata connection to my D*** Set top Box for much more space for DVR recordings than D***** provides.

I normally use Seagate for external hard drives because they can be read by both Windows and Mac without a problem. I bought 2 of these WD hard drives because I need to consolidate my hard drives and these are very good. Recommend.

At first I was skeptical with the dimensions that my Seagate 2TB External Hard Drive would fit into this case. I called the store and the gentleman assured me it would. So, I got it. This case provides the protection I need to carry my External Hard Drive from one location to another and with the hard-shell design, I can have confidence that my external hard drive will function when I plug it in to my laptop.

The WD 12TB external Hard drive was perfectly priced to be a back up drive for my business. This is my third 12TB hard drive by WD.

I have a Samsung SSD and a WD Black 1TB HDD. Been using them since 2015, (I don't keep my PC powered on 24/7, I only turn it on when I'm using it). Anyways. I trust WD HDDs. Have read a lot more good reviews of it than the Seagates. WD costs a bit more. My 1TB WD black drive was around $75 while a similar speed Seagate costs a lot less for double the storage capacity. After 2 weeks of thinking I finally bought the Seagate 2tb 7200rpm drive. The drive did not show up in BIOS or in Windows. Even the Windows Parton l partition manager didn't detect it. The easiest way is to boot your PC with the Windows installation disk. Then go to drive selection window and format the newly installed drive from there and now it will be detected in Windows and in BIOS. While I was copying my backup files, the drive did make a slight sound but it went away. This drive is fast. And surprisingly, this drive is much thinner than the WD 1tb black drive I have. Twice the storage, same rpm as the WD HDD but thinner profile! The drive did not come with any screws or data cables. While transferring my backup files to it (100gb of games), this drive reached 40 degrees while my WD was at around 36 degrees.i just hope my drive lasts long without issues.

I have several WD Elements Desktop External Hard Drive and all have served us well for backup.

I've use WD External Hard Drive for years, so far its my go to for Desktop Hard Drives.

I just added the WD 4TB Elements External Desktop Hard Disk Drive to my� back up solution (6 hard drives) and Windows 10.� I disconnected the power and USB cable from a full WD hard drive and replaced it with this new drive and fired it up. It works great, just like I would expect from Western Digital.

I am using this case to store my WD 2TB My Passport External Hard Drive. The cover is semi rigid which provides some protection against accidentally banging the hard drive, although I would not want to drop the hard drive. It also provides a separate area for storing the USB cable which comes with the hard dive. Very convenient.
