WD's 6TB Elements portable hard drive drops to $260 for simple plug-and-play backups
If you need plenty of storage on the move, without any of the clutter or software you don't need, this 6TB HDD for PC and Mac from WD is an easy recommendation.
The WD 6TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive has been reduced from $320 to $260 at Amazon. This portable hard drive comes with 6TB of storage, which is housed in a compact enclosure measuring 4.35 x 3.23 x 0.83 inches and weighing around half a pound. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB-A) at speeds up to 5Gbps, and is compatible with both USB 2.0 and bus-powered.
The hard drive is preformatted for Windows and can be reformatted for Mac. It is known for its reliability and simplicity, as it lacks the backup software and encryption features found in WD's My Passport line. The current discount of about 19 percent off makes it a cost-effective choice for those in need of bulk storage for backups, media libraries, or additional files.
However, it may not be the best choice for those who require built-in backup software, hardware encryption, or faster SSD speeds.
