   • The good:
     2TB storage, basic power management feature, great value for money
   • The bad:
     no visual indicator of available space, no cooling mechanism
   Western DigitalÕs 2TB Elements Desktop USB 2.0 drive is a cost-efficient, straightforward alternative to more sophisticated external drives. ItÕs not the best, but certainly not the worst in the industry, and most importantly, itÕll get the job done without the unnecessary fuss.
   The driveÕs enclosure already sets expectations. ItÕs a simple, black, rectangular box that sits horizontally on rubberized feet, so thereÕs no question about stability. Its large frame can be bothersome and thankfully, the sides are flat and wide enough to serve as the base, instead; something that cannot be done with its Seagate counterpart, the Seagate Desktop Expansion Drive.
   A closer inspection will also show that the hard plastic casing is structurally sound. The USB and power cables (18 inches and 6 feet, respectively) are also long enough for desktop use. However, the most crucial thing itÕs missing is a cooling mechanism. There are no air vents or an internal fan to dissipate heat so itÕs not ideal for heavy use. Also, a visual indicator of the driveÕs remaining space would be a welcome addition.
   Unlike most WD drives, the Elements Desktop series donÕt come with the WD SmartWare interface. It requires no installation and is ideal for tech-savvy people who can set up a more efficient and reliable file management and backup system or simply those who do not have a taste for bundled softwares. It has a power management system, though, that switches it to sleep mode after a certain time of inactivity.
   It wonÕt be setting records for read/write speeds nor is its real-world throughput close to the specified 480MBps maximum transfer rate. But running at 7200 rpm will definitely be enough for everyday file transfers . ThereÕs also no real difference in performance compared to its Seagate competitor, so the choice boils down to brand loyalty and fluctuations in retail price.
   There are 500GB to 3TB variants of the Elements Desktop USB 2.0 drive, and larger sizes can be expected to come out soon. This type of external drive wonÕt disappear that easily as it focuses on the deviceÕs rudimentary purpose Ð storage.
