Review: Great hard drive. Everything is great about it. Go for it. - This is a great hard drive. I previously had a 1 TB hard drive of WD and that worked really fine. That is why I decided to go for a 2TB hard drive of WD. Though, Seagate hard drives are much better than WD because they are thinner and they sustain for a long time like WD. I purchased it @Rs. 5599. Pros- 1. WD is a very reliable name in the field of hard drives. So it is reliable. 2. 2-year warranty. 3. small in size. 4. Reading speed is amazing. I got around 150 MBps/ 1.2 Mbps while reading. (Data was a movie and USB port was USB 3.0) 5. Writing speed is also great. I got around 55 MBps/ 440 Mbps while writing on the hard drive. (Data was a movie and USB port was USB 3.0) 6. The speed of reading and writing on USB 2.0 ports is also great. 7. USB 3.0 cable is already included in the package. So you don't need to purchase a USB 3.0 cable separately. 8. The length of the cable is enough for normal usage. 9. The product is original. So you can get is registered on WD website. You will also get your warranty from there. 10. Cheaper than Seagate models. (in general) Cons- 1. If you are in need of a long USB 3.0 cable then you will be disappointed. The length of the cable is just enough for normal usage. 2. The hard drive is somewhat thick. You will get a Seagate hard drive of the same capacity to be slimmer. Final comment- If the price is not a big issue for you and you want a slimmer hard drive then go for Seagate hard drive. Else this is certainly one of the best choices.
Review: Works as expected - Decent product. Tough build, good quality, decent speed for file transfer (60-90 mb/s) . The box consist usb 3.0 cable and the hdd. I am a developer so i wanted an hdd that could act as a backup for my projects and drives which consists of large no. (around 4 million) Of small sized(10-20kb) files . Although it took around 20-30 mins to tranfer this data(around 450 gb), it was at least faster than any otger source i could try.. This does not have any build in software so it can work with Windows/mac/linux. I tested on linux/win. The other wd hdd( those colorful mypassport hdds) have some encryption software which could cause problems while using with linux, so i prefer this. And the product was delivered a day earlier than expected. So , thanks desertcart.
