It's size and weight is excellent, nicely light and portable without feeling flimsy. Build quality is good and I've had reliable use of this for the whole time I've had it. It's easy to use, just a straight plug and play on my windows laptop into the USB A port. The cable is sturdy and well made. File transfer is very good, it seems to be quite quick both transferring to and from my laptop, even when stacking a large number of files and transfers. Your mileage will vary depending on your computer speed too, but I've been very pleased with the speed of this device. The storage size of 2TB is perfect for my needs and seems to be in the sweet spot for having a good storage capacity while also being reliable and portable. The current listed RRP is very good value for the quality of this drive. Highly recommended. Review: Recommended by Computer Tech & So Easy to Use - I was in the market for a portable hard drive as my laptop has limited storage. Additionally, working on multiple devices, it is an easy way to transport documents, enabling them to be opened and edited at a time and place to suit. WD was a brand recommended to me by the technician who services my computer equipment, so I felt confident in selecting the brand. After reading up on a number of alternatives I decided on 1TB unit by Western Digital. This was competitively priced and wasn't much more expensive than one with half the capacity, so it was a no brainer. Once opened, simply plug in to your device using the USB lead provided and away you go. For example, if you have a word document open that you wish to save to the drive, simply press “save as”, locate the WD on your control panel, open the folder and click “save”. I have to say that this is perfect for my requirements. The unit is very compact, has a large memory capacity and stores all of my personal and important documents off of my computer’s inbuilt storage. It has also increased the speed of my laptop by transferring these documents from my computer, which was an added bonus. Best Uses : To free up space and back up your laptop’s (or other device’s) internal hard drive. Pros : Excellent value, compact size, easy to set up, sleek, compatible with Windows 10. Cons : None. In summary : A very good, competitively priced portable hard drive. I hope you found my review helpful and would love for you to click “yes” if you did. ## Features - Extra storage for your videos, music, photos and files - Plug-and-play ready for Windows PCs - Fast data transfer with USB 3.0 - Compatible with Windows 10 or 8.1, reformat for MAC OS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B017IGERDE | | Best Sellers Rank | 55,871 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 198 in External Hard Drives | | Box Contents | Portable hard drive USB cable Quick install guide | | Brand Name | WD | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 1 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Package Type | [IF] Flat Free Package (FFP) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (27,479) | | Data Transfer Rate | 625 Megabytes Per Second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 3000 GB | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037837642, 07180378376426 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 3.0 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 5400 RPM | | Hard-Drive Size | 3 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB 3.0 | | Installation Type | External Hard Drive | | Item Weight | 234 Grams | | Manufacturer | Western Digital | | Media Speed | [LE] 625.0 MB/s | | Model Name | WDBU6Y0030BBK-WESN | | Model Number | WDBU6Y0030BBK-WESN | | Network Connectivity Technology | Usb 3.0 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Features | Hot Swap Function^BUS powered | | Product Warranty | 2 years | | Specific Uses For Product | Storage | | UPC | 718037837642 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Connectivity technology:** Usb 3.0 - **Digital storage capacity:** 3000 GB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** USB 3.0 - **Installation type:** External Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Hot Swap Function^BUS powered ## Images ![WD 3 TB Elements Portable Hard Drive - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71a8Oc8E3DL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this hard drive work with Windows 7?** A: Yes, my home PC is Windows 7 - no problems encountered. **Q: Can I use this with Windows 10?** A: Yes, with no problems.

I particularly like the fact that it is powered via the USB connection so you don't need an additional power lead. I was surprised to be able to get such a large capacity (2Tb) on such a compact format and at such a low price. This external Storage has made life so much easier for me. It's fantastic literally straight out of the box and go. No set up, no fuss. The hard drive itself has excellent storage and I have had absolutely no problems with it. Would highly recommend. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 3TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBU6Y0030BBK-WESN - WD 2TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive for Windows, USB 3.2 Gen 1/USB 3.0 for PC & Mac, Plug and Play Ready - WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47989148-wd-3-tb-elements-portable-hard-drive](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/47989148-wd-3-tb-elements-portable-hard-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
