I've owned 4 external drives from the "WD Elements" series over the years. 3 are older 1.5 TB, and 1 is my newest 3 TB one. All excellent and problem free!

Very fast. I'm happy with it.

Fits flush in one of the 5 and 1/4 slots in the top of the CM 690 II Advanced. Receives plenty of rushing incoming air thanks to the exhaust fans at the rear top of the case - to keep the two 2.5 inch SSDs and the 3.5 inch device (dual USB 2.0 & 3.0 port adaptor) nice and chill. More durable plastic than I originally thought it would be.

might just be my case, it sits at the bottom in a echo chamber built for two. maybe it wants out!

Works out-of-the-box with various Linux distros using 4.x kernel (currently Debian Stable) Works well with mdadm Simple settings Works well/reliably/as advertised

Does what it's supposed to do. Simple Installation.

Looks great. Works as intended. Easy to install and set up.

Put about 8TB of files on and it reads fine.

I use the docking station to move from a PC with 6 drives to a iMac 5k. To my surprise all the PC drives 3T and 4T were instantly available on the mac as well as all the files and photos! I can have both mac and pc drives in the doing station at the same time. I can pop in the drives I need when I need them. What a difference in transferring from a mac to PC which I did 3 months ago. That was an experience that no one should have to undergo!

It works. You plug it in to your USB port and away it goes. A pretty good backup program gets installed and you just tell it what you want. What more could you want. The competitive product I had decided it needed all new software which didn't work. You do have to wonder why companies insist on trashing functioning programs with stuff that just doesn't work.

Received drive where it was in a frame in center of box which was in a semi secure Newegg box. Plugged in drive into old mediasonic probox that was rated for 8tb drives. Worked fine. Ubuntu says you have to format that 16tb size as GPT and that worked fine. Over 14tb usable space. Temp of drive is similar to my 4 and 8tb WD red drives and is much cooler than the 10tb WD Plus drive. Speed was high at around 200MB transfer rates. Noise was slightly higher than the 4tb WD drives, but still low. Drive is new, not used, not recertified. Manufacture date is March 2023 which is when the warranty starts, so not very long ago.
