Argos doesn't honour 14 day return period for dist
Be careful Argos doesn't honour 14 day return period for distance selling if you do click and collect. For me this is a complete deal breaker. What am I supposed to do, open the product in the store and test it there?

Works well. I was initially worried that it wouldn't be fast enough, considered getting a solid state drive, but this seems adequate in speed.

A great drive that really did the trick for storing my files after my last external drive failed. Easy to use and super fast delivery to my pick up point.

Western Dig. 2Tb external drive /store.
Looks just like its older uncle and with 4x capacity. Compact, tidy, and with improved connection. I removed the software so it now behaves like a big memory stick. In fact its just what I ordered. My back up storage for the next 5 years sorted.

Yes, it's suitable, but you will need to reformat it to a macOS-compatible format like APFS (for macOS 10.13+) or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (HFS+), or exFAT for both Mac & PC, using Disk Utility.

Hello JJ
I can advise the following for: Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive.
To safely eject your Western Digital Elements 2TB Portable Hard Drive, you can use one of several methods depending on your operating system (Windows or macOS):
Method 1: Using the Notification Area Icon (Recommended)
Locate the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area (system tray), typically at the bottom-right of your taskbar. It looks like a small USB plug icon. You may need to click the up arrow to show hidden icons.
Click the icon.
A menu will appear listing connected devices. Select "Eject Elements" or "Eject WD Elements SE" (the exact name may vary).
Wait for a notification that says, "Safe to Remove Hardware" or "Safe to Eject Media". Once you see this message, you can physically unplug the drive.
