Overview
A desk beside a PC that needs more backup space is the setting for this Western Digital external drive. It connects by USB, stores files on a mechanical disk and lists backup software among its included media.
The reason to buy is simple extra storage and backup for a PC. The limit is condition, since the description states the item was tested and may have scratches, scuffs, smudges or blemishes, and some spec fields conflict.
Who it's for
People who want plain backup storage for a Windows computer and do not mind cosmetic wear will find the basics here. Buyers who expect a new sealed drive, a Mac-ready setup, or a documented warranty should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Large capacity for backups
- Backup software listed
- Mechanical disk spins fast
- Described as showing signs of use
- Form factor fields disagree
- Warranty entry unclear
- Mac support not listed
Performance notes
A spinning mechanical disk reads and writes slower than flash storage, and the listed rotation rate helps sequential transfers. Real speed is set by the USB link and the file sizes copied. The speed fields in the listing are unreliable.
