        Good but very fragile

        For the price, the quality is more than adequate. Very high speed compared to other external hard drives, and equally high storage capacities. So why this rating? Fragility. All it took was a slight knock on my rear door during a journey to render it unusable, with total loss of data (data unrecoverable even with the right tools). Suitable for use that does not require moving or for those who are dexterous with their fingers. Otherwise, all it takes is a slight shock to render it completely unusable. I remember having an external DD that fell heavily 3-4 years ago and never had a problem. This one had a little boo-boo and it's already the end of the beans.

        Very good product

        Not much to complain about with this hard drive. Capacity, speed, everything's fine for the use I want to make of it, i.e. incremental backup.

        WD ELEMENTS PORTABLE 4 TO BLACK (USB 3.0)

        Product arrived within a few days. Easy to use.
        I also went to the LDLC shop in Beaucouzé near Angers where the 2 people there gave me a very warm welcome. I recommend this shop.

        Low price, high capacity

        Very good site ldlc. Fast and professional on the order. Delivery a little late, because parcel blocked at Roissy for no reason. But arrived well on St barth. Delivery time 15 days. Very acceptable for the West Indies. I recommend Ldlc

        Holds well over time and fast, but not the 4TB as indicated...

        Bought it almost 4 years ago, it is reliable and holds up well over time, no problems to report on that. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy a new one, but it's a good one. The transfer speeds in 3.0 are correct for the use I make of it.
        I recommend it, but expect not to have 4TB.

        A quality product in line with the others, despite a capacity of 3.63 TB and not 4...

        The brand's hard drives are of high quality and this one is no exception. It's quiet, rather light and doesn't take up much space, and there's nothing wrong with the transfer speeds either. The only downside is the capacity of 3.63TB, not 4TB. If this loss of about 10% is found in the 1TB and 2TB models, it would be good if the manufacturer would mention it, even if you know it from use. Thanks once again to the LDLC team for the quality of their service.

        very good and durable product

        I use this product to make backups for my PCs. (copy system images) very useful in case of PC crash.

        Very good Laptop 4Tb

        Very good 4Tb laptop.
        Very reliable and easy to use.
        Quiet, it does not make any noise.
        Efficient, down to the last detail.

        IT'S AN ABUSIVE REQUEST

        quite correct

        except for a slightly long delivery time .... but it was the holiday season! .... everything was perfect!
        I have had the opportunity to order computer equipment from LDLC (Belgium) several times and everything has always gone well. Reliable!

        Does its job

        Doesn't have the claimed capacity (like all storage devices now), decent performance without more and reasonable price, in the average, what...

        Perfect*.

        The only flaw is the recurring problem with hard drives: They never fully fill the capacity that is indicated, which is a bit frustrating!
        The only problem is that they are never fully loaded, which is a bit frustrating! I've been using it for a while now, but it's a good one.

        Good flow, almost no problems

        The hard drive itself works perfectly. The only thing I find problematic (and this is unfortunately the case with all hard drive manufacturers) is the dishonest and irritating way of playing with the storage units.

        When I buy a 4TB drive, it is to have 4096GB of storage, with 1GB = 1024MB, etc. In this case, I end up with 4 "false" TB, i.e. 4000 "false" GB of each 1000 "false" MB, etc. This gives me 3.63 "real" TB of total capacity, which still represents a loss of almost 10% of capacity.

        If manufacturers would stick to the real storage units they claim on their disks, perhaps their customers would be happy to pay a few euros more to have the capacity they want.
