Viewing videos on the drive can also be a headache.ġ star for WD, and an overall reliable and robust HDD,ġ star for the cost since its quite affordable for a 5tb HDD. If you plan on purchasing this drive, I suggest you only use it for backup purposes. With This HDD, speeds may start off at 50mb/s but slowly decrease until its around 1,50mb/s for large files and about 50kb/s for smaller files. Compared to the WD Elements Ext HDD, I could easily achieve speeds of up to 3-10mb/s. Overall a decent drive with decent space at an affordable price BUT the read/write speeds are painfully low, especially with smaller files and folders which to be honest, is expected of a drive which doesnt require an external power supply. SMART tests results returned OK.(refer to image) Mine disagrees and requires me to format the drive before I can use, potentially losing any pdfs or readmes if there were any inside the drive. WD claims this product to be "plug and play", ready straight out of the box. The only visible features are a USB port and a LED light. Everything is quite hidden and minimalist. The physical drive itself is a small, sleek design.
