Western Digital WD Elements Portable 1.5TB 2.5" External HDD, Black

The Western Digital Elements Portable is a 1.5TB external hard drive designed for supplemental data storage and file backups. It connects via a USB 3.0 interface, providing a maximum theoretical data transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ports. As a bus-powered device, it draws operational power directly from the computer's USB port through the included cable, which eliminates the need for an AC adapter. This feature streamlines its use as a portable storage solution for users who work on the move.

Housed within a black plastic enclosure, the drive measures 111 x 82 x 21 mm and weighs 230 grams. It incorporates a standard 2.5-inch hard disk drive. The unit offers plug-and-play functionality for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 operating systems, allowing for immediate file transfers without software installation. For use with macOS X, the drive requires a reformat, a standard procedure that enables cross-platform compatibility. Its specified operating temperature range is between 5 and 35°C.
