According to our external hard drive HDD expert
The WD Elements Portable 3TB is an external hard drive with a storage capacity of 3TB for all your files. This compact hard drive is only 2.5 inches in size, so it's easy carry around in your bag. The drive is even more portable because it's powered via the USB port. The Elements Portable has already been formatted for Windows computers, and can therefore be used in an instant.

Good but..... A 3TB hard drive won't work on most standalone media players, because they can only handle the Master File Table (MFT) NTFS file system up to and including 2TB hard drives. This 3TB drive uses the GUID Partition Table (GPT) NTFS file system. I didn't know this either! Even if I make this GUID an MBR disk it didn't work. (you get a 2TB disk and the rest of the disk is unusable due to the 2TB max MBR restriction)
If you plug this 3TB GUID into your PC, there's nothing to worry about! But if you buy it to watch movies from this hard drive, for example, then you most likely have a problem

Just exactly what I was looking for was nice and small in size with large storage capacity.

The hard drive is good. Once connected, immediately usable. The speed at which it transfers files is very fast.
