According to our external hard drive HDD expert
The WD Elements Portable 1.5 TB is an external hard drive with a storage capacity of 1.5TB for all your files. The compact hard drive is only 2.5 inches in size and easy to take along. Because the drive takes its power supply from the USB port, it's even more portable. The drive connects to the USB 3.0. If your computer does not have USB 3.0 then the disk will work via USB 2.0. The WD Elements Portable 1.5 TB has already been formatted for Windows computers, and can therefore be used right away.

Small, robust, fast storage and file retrieval, even via USB 2.0. Plug & play, child can do the laundry. Perfect! Reliability has yet to be proven, only a few weeks in the house, but so far no problems encountered and I have every confidence in it.

Nice size, fast and very handy because I now have all my files safely on my WD.

Plug & Play, just plug in and use. The supplied cable is relatively short (30cm) so it will probably end up on your desktop case or on the table next to your laptop. With me it hangs 24/7 on my router to use as a NAS.
SPEED: In practice, write and read speeds of about 70-80MB/s via USB 3.0 port. (on Windows 7, access via explorer). Gets maximum achievable speed from the USB 2.0 port. By connecting this disk to my router I only get a maximum of 17MB/s (bottleneck is undoubtedly a router)
ENERGY: The energy management has been made very smart, on the one hand by the router of course on the other by the disk: after exactly 30min. when not in use, the drive switches to standby mode, eliminating the need to spin. This is ideal in case you want to use this drive as a NAS without drastically shortening its lifespan. Gets power from USB port, a big advantage for me because my router is hanging from the ceiling so no extra socket is needed to connect my HD to the router.
DESIGN: Less compact than expected, takes up about 2-3 times the volume of the 2.5" drive. Probably because I've never had this type of external drives and can only compare with the internal type. I personally don't mind the flashing LED on disk activity, although I'm sure it would bother me while watching a movie if it was next to the screen.
Only had it for 2 weeks and still no negative experience to share.
