WD Elements desktop drive offers reliable, add-on storage in a compact desktop form factor with up to 10TB capacity. It is designed for fast data transfers and provides a simple way to store photos, music, videos and other important files while maintaining compatibility with common Windows systems.

Advantages

The drive improves PC performance by freeing space on an internal hard drive without deleting files. It works plug-and-play with Windows PCs and supports both USB 3.0 for high-speed transfers and backward compatibility with USB 2.0. The drive and its enclosure are built to WD’s standards for durability, shock tolerance and long-term reliability.

Key specifications

• Capacity: up to 10 TB
• Interface: USB 3.0 (backward compatible with USB 2.0)
• Preformatted: NTFS
• OS compatibility: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 (may vary by hardware and configuration)

How to use

Connect the WD Elements drive to a PC using the included USB cable; the unit is recognized automatically on Windows systems. Transfer files from the internal drive to the WD Elements drive to free space, or copy files to the drive for backup and media storage. For best performance use a USB 3.0 port when available. Eject the drive safely through the operating system before disconnecting.

Recommendations

Use the drive primarily as external storage and a simple backup location. Keep a separate backup for irreplaceable data and check compatibility with your system if not running Windows 10, 8.1 or 7.
