Quality

5t, very easy to use, pretty good design, very portable, no notion of the speed or drive quality.

Great for long termbackups, nice and easy to tuck away

One of seven failed after a couple of years of use with 187 "pending sector count" problems.

(drives with sector count issues are 16 times more likely to fail within 60 days than those with 0 sector count problems.

I figure due to losses, i add 30% $$ to make up for the failure rate/replacement cost to give me the cost per stable unit.

Pros: huge storage for the price, powered through usb only, ntfs formatted, small.

Shipping

First order of business: i ordered this drive (wd elements 5tb) and received it in about 18 hours.

I checked the shipping label, and it is their proprietary delivery service.

Packaging/appearance

The box it came in was pretty regular, no fancy presentation.

Competitiveness

I rarely buy another brand, and i’m happy.

Similar to a samsung dex setup, the device i used is a baseus usb c mount.

With other brands i can literally plug and play to my iphone.
