    Like my heading says, so far, so good. Not being a computer geek I was concerned about installing my new hard drive. I plugged it into my USB port and to my surprise the hard drive installed itself. I watched the messages on the screen as the computer became aware of new hardware, identified the make a model then displayed "installation complete". The whole thing took about 15 seconds. I did a Norton full scan of my computer and backed up documents and photos to the hard drive. Awsome ! My fears were unnecessary.

    I've had several portable usb drives and all of them have used standard mini usb plugs that come included with cameras, other usb drives, phones, etc. ON the other hand, this one comes with a non standard plug and this means that if u lose it, u can't use the spare ones you have lying around.

      Comments about Western Digital Elements SE 1TB Portable Hard Drive:

      While I wouldn't recommend this hard drive to users who are looking to backup their files, if you're just looking for some extra storage space, this is the hard drive for you. No need for extra outlet, its just plug and play. WD's hard drives are probably the best quality hard drives out there on the market with maybe some Seagate drives being able to compare.

          If you are looking for a back up drive to free up storage space on your computer this is the portable hard drive to buy. You can take it anywhere you go, if you have a mini laptop this portable hard drive is great to take along to watch videos or pictures or to write business reports and save it to the portable.
