I chose this WD Portable Drive because I have found WD drives to be exceptionally reliable. I have three WD MirrrorServers with a total of six 4Tb drives (24Tb in total), plus another two WD 1Tb drives in my PC and laptop and a 2.5Tb expansion drive. I admit the server drives are professional quality (Red) drives, but I figure that any company that can make such high endurance drives must direct some of that experience into their standard drives.
In practice I have found the Elements Portable drive has been very resilient to the occasional knocks (even whilst running) and has remained exceptionally reliable whilst being exchanged between several PCs, an Android tablet and a Linux digital video recorder. I have reformatted it a couple of times and transferred tens of terra-bytes of data through it, without a single loss of a file.
I totally recommend WD, this portable drive is a prime example of their excellent quality and reliablity.
Is this feature helpful?
Thank you for your feedback.
