WD Desktop Reviews

Reliable Affordable Storage

By Josh
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-07-10

First off, it was a really great deal given how expensive digital storage has gotten lately. Like any other storage drives we just needed to reformat to exFat, and because they're disk drives I use them more for backup file storage, not for actually editing directly from.

Exactly what I wanted, transactions as promised by B&H

I'm archiving music and photos and wanted a large, simple, no-nonsense external hard drive for storage. The WD 6TB Elements desktop hard drive suits my needs perfectly. B&H handled and shipped the order smoothly as promised, and the plug and play hard drive (with security options) worked perfectly. Very happy and more comfortable than storing everything on a cloud.
