WD Drive
Bought to use as a backup drive for an imac computer. Was easy to reformat the drive for the mac and it works perfectly and is very fast. Also have another identical WD drive still in use and it has been reliable for the last 8 years.

Spare Hard Drive for a Mac
Bought 2 of these hard drives and so far only used one of them on `Mac Mini. The files would not transfer on to the hard drive until I re-formatted the hard drive. The description on Amazon said it would work on a Mac or a Windows computer.

Ready within minutes and perfect for my needs.

In my experience a good reliable brand.
I have purchased a number of WD Elements external drives over the years. I have not had a problem with any of them and fully expect that situation to continue. I have a WD Elements drive which is ten years old and still performs faultlessly (looks around for some wood to touch!). I have no doubt I will continue to buy them in the future given WD's solid reputation for reliability.

Good for backup
Perfect additional backup resource after my other SSD drive failed - now I have the two plugged into the iMac so time machine automatically alternates between the two - plug in and forget about it!

Very useful WD 2TB Hard Drive.
Pocket size 2TB External Hard Drive. Light weight and very fast at transferring files from a laptop / desktop computer. Nice, compact design. Already transferred hundreds of photos to it and still it's hardly used up any space. One thing though, it is supposed to be a 2 TB size, but there's only 1.83TB space on it from new, before loading files into it.

Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive: Each TV can be different, the HardDrive will connect to the USB port in the back of the TV, and will pop up in the USB Devices from the home page.
For instructions to record, it is best to get directions from Samsung.
Thank you for using Q&A.

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.
Thanks for using Q&A

Hello Tess
I can advise the following for: Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive.
No, a Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive will not work with the Eufy Homebase S380.

Hi there,
The Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is compatible with the PS5, but there are some important considerations:
The PS5 uses a proprietary storage format, which may not be compatible with the standard FAT32 file system used by most external hard drives.
Hi there.
I can advise that the Western Digital Elements 2TB USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive is compatible with an iMac but it will need to be formatted to APFS or Mac OS using Disc Utility prior to use.
Thanks for using Q&A.
