According to our external hard drive HDD expert
Store all your precious photos, documents, and media files on the WD Elements Desktop 16TB. This 3.5-inch external hard drive takes up little space on your desk. The Elements Desktop is specially designed for Windows computers, but it also works with Apple devices when you format the drive. Make a backup of your entire PC without installation, or transfer your movie collection and vacation photos so they're safe. You transfer data via USB 3.0, which is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. A USB 3.0 cable is included. In addition, the drive is shockproof. That means it remains undamaged if it falls off the table, so your files are safe.

You can't say anything about reliability after a week.. I've had WD HD's that gave up after a month and a year, but also that have still been soliciting happily for 11 years.. What immediately struck me was the considerable vibration of the box. I already have a foam rubber mat under it .. very disturbing. Furthermore, it jumps into sleep mode really quickly and of course it takes a few seconds to get out (long enough to call it disturbing) It is connected to a Mac (in hindsight I would have preferred to have it attached to my Linux server with EXT filesystem) but re-installing 8tb... you don't just do that! Mac has been having a hard time with Samba shares for quite some time now .. so accessing remotely is possible but with a bit of nonsense (not WD's fault) Ultimately, I'm afraid this disc won't last long. Vibration is not a positive property of a hard disk.

The External hard drive is relatively loud, contains an HDD similar to an Ultrastar model. The only difference with an ultra-rigid model is the label and the speed (5400 RPM for this version)
