Western Digital (WD) Elements 2.5 Terabyte (TB) External Hard Drive
Model No: WDBAAU0025HBK
Price: $99 CAD

This is a quick unboxing of the WD elements 2.5 external hard drive. Western Digital is the number 1 best selling hard drive brand in the world and it is a very reputable company in the hard drive business.

Quick specs:
- Serial Bus Transfer Rate (USB 2.0) – 480 Mb/s (Max)
- Capacity 2.5TB but only 2.27 TB is available to use!
- Compatible with Windows OS and requires reformatting for Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard
- Simple plug and play, no additional software required!

Absolutely no noise concerns.

The only Cons that I have is that it does not work with the PlayStation 3 (PS3)

As of today it been three weeks and working great.

This appears to be the second review here now from the mac side- it’s a no brainer for mac users (as I’d read for the 2TB G-Drive when I first started buying these). I’d had mixed luck with the much cheaper Fantom drives- some worked fine and my last order I had to return due to quirky formatting and even quirkier copying via my eSATA card- and I got the ones that were supposed to have the ‘better components’ whatever that means. These have been nothing but easy and flawless. I choke a little on the price which is quickly forgotten when they arrive and work seamless via any connection (build quality and other features have all been elaborated on by other users and are impeccable) and I sleep at night. After a day of panic over possibly losing 350gigs of Canon 5D Mark 2 images on my last (ever) Fantom experiment to save money (copied to two of ‘em for redundancy) and finally coaxing the data to copy back via USB I decided to stick with these (this is my third pair- the other four are the 2TB drives and I decided to try the 3TB). Don’t know about reliability but data is copied to two of ‘em. I love ‘em. Summary: if it’s stuff you want to keep (and you can afford them) it appears you get what you pay for. I’m very happy.
