It also comes with a redeemable service called Rescue data recovery services. Unlike data recovery software , this one is done by the manufacturer and covers one in-lab data recovery attempt with an encrypted storage device containing your recovered data if the recovery is successful. A superb bargain if you want a drive without bells and whistles. You get the same level of warranty and theoretically roughly the same performance. We liked its slower counterpart, the PD , when we tested it in It is cheaper than the OneTouch but offers a rare glimpse of what life would be if you have a compatible USB 3.
It is smaller than competing rivals that perform on par with it and backed by a long warranty. Where it fails to compete with others is on price. As it stands, it is one of the more expensive USB 3. He dabbled in website building and web hosting when DHTML and frames were en vogue and started writing about the impact of technology on society just before the start of the Y2K hysteria at the turn of the last millennium.
Then followed a weekly tech column in a local business magazine in Mauritius, a late night tech radio programme called Clicplus and a freelancing gig at the now-defunct, Theinquirer, with the legendary Mike Magee as mentor. I'd prefer years. Register your drive on the WD warranty web site. Just enter the drive serial number, the site does the rest. For every drive you register, it lists: when the warranty expires, direct links to software and manuals for each drive, etc.
I also own a GB WD drive bought over a year ago which is still working fine. Physical appearance. My old GB is all black with a high gloss finish. Every fingerprint is visible on my old drive. USB 3. Drive performance is good exceeds USB 2. I measured USB 2. All hard drives are faster when empty than full. This is simply because the circumference of the Outside diameter OD of the disk is larger than the Inside diameter ID. Drive temperature was reasonable not fantastic. I measured 45C while writing GB to the drive ambient was 25C.
Reformatting the drive e. You can either copy the software off before format, or download the software from the WD web page after format. The drive includes the following software. You can choose what you want to install. Both drives passed all the WD diagnostics. The various WD software packages allow you to exploit many optional features of the drive.
For example, you can set the Drive Sleep Timer duration of inactivity before the drive spins down , Password protect the drive, etc.
Cons: 1. The up side is physical space savings and likely WD production cost. This also means you have no easy way to recover your data if the USB hardware only were to fail. It wasn't a big problem since I could move the drive to another enclosure and install the drive directly into my PC to access my files.
I was close, but did not deduct an Egg for this. The length of the USB cable is relatively short 16". This is due in part because the drive obtains all power through USB. The up side is there is no need for a separate power cord or power supply which improves portability.
WD does not include a case with the drive. The manual softcopy pdf file on the drive refers you to WD web site to purchase accessories separately. I found it useful to purchase a case with an internal pocket to store the USB cable.
Overall Review: 1. Backup software. There are numerous Backup software solutions for PCs. I prefer to just "drag and drop" files from my PC to my various external drives I own many drives from different vendors. The down side is you must manage the backups yourself and remember to do them periodically.
This is my own personal preference and why the focus of my review has been the hardware. Always remember any PC hardware can fail e. If you don't want to loose your your precious files, maintain at least two copies on different media. Its unlikely both copies will fail simultaneously excluding a fire or flood.
Focus your backup on the files you created yourself e. Most software and operating systems files can be restored from the original installation disks. Peace of mind with self-destruct technology.
