Although SSDs have taken over the PC ecosystem due to their sheer speed, when you have a need for large storage space they either fall short or are too expensive. Fortunately, there are intermediate solutions that consist of using a external drive with USB connectionand if you need this extra capacity right now, you’ll be happy to know that we’ve found the right one for you. WD Elements of none other than 10TB capacity with a more than interesting discount.
The main and great advantage of using this type of device is that you don’t need to gut or connect anything internally in your PC; You just have to connect them via USB and they are ready to work, which is also a great advantage in the sense that you can connect them to any PC or laptop as long as you have a USB port available for it. This, of course, and a huge storage capacity.
Put an external drive in your life
If traditional mechanical hard drives still have a reason for being, it is undoubtedly because their capacity / price ratio (or price per GB) cannot be matched (let alone surpassed) by solid-state drives. And it is that in fact, as is the case with external disks, we can always simply connect them via USB when we need them and then disconnect them and turn them off… they will literally be at our disposal where and when we need them, without the need to always have them running, consuming energy and making noise.
The 10 TB WD Elements Desktop that we are talking about today has quite small dimensions (it measures 16.5 x 4.8 x 13.5 centimeters), and thanks to its glossy black casing it will look good in any desk. You will only need two connections to make it work: the power connector (since it has a 3.5″ hard drive inside, it needs its own power supply, the one provided by USB is not worth it) and the USB cable to connect it to your PC, so it is also very convenient to use.
Plug it into the power and your PC, press the power button and that’s it, in a few seconds your operating system will detect it without you having to do anything else and you will have its massive 10TB capacity at your disposal. Your connection is usb3.0which means that we can expect quite high transfer rates (according to our own tests, this hard drive gives about 220MB/s read and ones 120MB/s writemore than enough to work with large files).
Offer price and availability
Generally, this Western Digital external drive has a retail price of around 280 euros in stores, but you currently have it available at Amazon Spain with a 29% discount and stays in €195 round, so it is an excellent opportunity to buy a 10 TB disk for less than €200.
Of course, keep in mind that as usual this offer is limited, and when they run out of units it will end and it will return to its usual price (well, first it will surely run out of stock for a few days). In any case, we consider that it is a very good opportunity to buy an external disk with high capacity and speed at a price that seems fairly fair to us.
