Description

Store all your precious photos, documents, and media files on the WD Elements Desktop 16TB. This 3.5-inch external hard drive takes up little space on your desk. The Elements Desktop is specially designed for Windows computers, but it also works with Apple devices when you format the drive. Make a backup of your entire PC without installation, or transfer your movie collection and vacation photos so they're safe. You transfer data via USB 3.0, which is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. A USB 3.0 cable is included. In addition, the drive is shockproof. That means it remains undamaged if it falls off the table, so your files are safe.

  • Loud

The External hard drive is relatively loud, contains an HDD similar to an Ultrastar model. The only difference with an ultra-rigid model is the label and the speed (5400 RPM for this version)
