Q: Can I use this as extra space to store data from Steam or Origin on my Mac Mini.
submitted by UnknowingCube17 - 19 days ago
A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Western Digital 1TB Storage Drive. Yes, you absolutely can use a Western Digital 1TB drive for extra Steam and Origin game storage on your Mac Mini; just connect it, format it (if new/PC-formatted), set it as a Steam Library folder in settings, and choose it during game installs for massive space savings, though faster SSDs are better for game load times than traditional HDDs. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Good for storing photos from a Mac?
submitted by Bud - 21 days ago
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about the Western Digital 1TB Storage Drive A Western Digital (WD) 1TB storage drive is generally very good for storing photos from a Mac, but there is one simple step you might need to take before you use it. If the WD drive is not labeled "for Mac," you will need to reformat it using your Mac's built-in Disk Utility. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day between 7 am and 11 pm CST.

Q: Will this work for Xbox S?
submitted by Mama P - 1 month ago
A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Western Digital 1TB Storage Drive Yes, but it depends on the specific type of Western Digital 1TB drive. An expansion card like the WD_BLACK C50 is necessary to store and play Xbox Series X|S games at their intended performance. A standard external USB HDD like this one will work to store games (including Series X|S games), but you'll need to move them to the internal or expansion drive to play them. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

What a surprise ... ? It broke down just 3 months
This is ridiculous. It broke down with no warning just 3 months after the 2-year warranty expired ... !!! There no stress whatsoever. I didn't move for the entire time, no duat, no high temperatures. No unplugging. Nothing !!! I have other disks (Toshiba, Samsung & Seagate) that are 5+ years old and they work impeccanly under the same conditions. This is completely unacceptable and I AM DEFINITELY ÐONE WITH BUYING ANY WD PRODUCTS. By all means, take your time ... You have plenty of time to get your act together until you lose all your other customers and get labeled as the company producing the worst disks ever and robbing your customers of their money, data and time ...

Best buy for the money
Great drive! I have the 4TB drive. In 1985, disk storage was expensive and certainly not comparable to what we have today, and for the price!

Unreliable and flimsy
Barely used it just to back up data just for safety Never touched it in a couple of yaers. When I came back to retrieve my data it was not working. Talking about a waste of money and all the data that it cost me. Shame WD. Thats it a low quality product you released there. Although long WD fan, my next HDD was not an WD

great performance in a compact size
I now have three of these in the 5TB size, all perform perfectly for their intended purpose, offline storage of seldom accessed files. I am able to transfer large chunks of data quickly, even between drives and they take up very little space when not in use, even fits in a pocket in my laptop bag.

Never again
How do you get rid of the driver on your Windows 11 system that has caused nothing but problems. The drive did not do a system image at all. Nothing but errors. Now can't turn on memory integrity due to this driver. I returned the WD Elements drive because I was fed up with it.

Hard drive is dead.
The hard drive became totally dead. I tried different cables and different computers, but it did not work. No proper support is available online. I was relying on that device as solid-state trouble-free, and I lost all the data that I have been collecting for years.

Terribly unreliable
Started malfunctioning in less than a month. I have been using WD discs for decades. I have owned a passport portable drive and using it all the time since approx. 15 years now. The latest offerings by WD over the last 3-5 years (and I've bought many) are TERRIBLE and avoidable at best in terms of quality and reliability. I am looking to switch all my storage solutions away from WD. Beware!!!

WD 1TB Elements™ USB 3.0 Portable - WDBUZG0010BBK-
I had this for about a year and it failed on me. I have business customer and personal data on that I hopefully should be able to retrieve but very inconvenient. I have to purchase another device and an another hard drive . I prefer external hard drives but i might have to go to cloud . I also had a WD My Book. That one lasted me 8 years and now that one failed also. Anyone look into buying WD Element I would be very cautious. maybe a higher end one would work.

Two failed drives.
Please beware. I got the 2TB version because it was cheap. The first one failed within first two weeks, and the replacement drive I received overheats after 15 minutes. I am now awaiting my third drive, of which I have very little hope for.
