No problems so far in the couple of months I have had it. Update: Had the drive now for about 6 months. I use it as apart of my editing workstation as a place to archive files, use it to sync cloud files with drop box and Google and some programs that I do not want to run from my small SSD OS drive, I offload on this drive. Everything works great. While putting program files would probably be better served on an internal drive within the workstation, I can't say I have had any problems with programs like Powerdvd, Glary Utilities, CD Label Maker, etc. The only thing I notice is that VLC churns trying to play some of my uncompressed avi files - but I suspect that is more of an overall computing power than anything else. I would purchase another one without hesitation and I have over a half dozen different external hard drives. If I had only one complaint, I would say the "power" button on the back is finicky and not convenient. I can't seem to power it down quickly or efficiently so I usually unplug the USB cord or the power cord so I don't leave the drive on all the time. Other than that, no complaints!! Review: Great External Backup - My Apple AirPort went out on me and I didn't want to pay Apple's price. I didn't need the Wi-Fi part of the AirPort just the backup. So I found this hard drive. If I had a PC and not an Apple the installation might have been easier. But even with the instructions I was given, when I went to install nothing was like the instructions. But got it installed and it works great. ## Features - Transfer files faster than ever - Massive capacity - Improve PC performance - Universal connectivity - Plug-and-play simplicity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00HZ0RWY0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #692 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | WD | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (650) | | Date First Available | August 26, 2013 | | Flash Memory Size | 3 TB | | Hard Drive | 3 TB usb 3 | | Hard Drive Interface | USB 1.1 | | Hardware Platform | PC;Mac | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 8 x 7 x 5.5 inches | | Item Weight | 2.01 pounds | | Item model number | WDBWLG0030HBK-NESN | | Manufacturer | Wd | | Number of USB 3.0 Ports | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 7 x 5.5 inches | | Series | Elements Desktop | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** PC, Mac - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 3 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** usb 3 - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 1.1 - **Installation Type:** External Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** Plug & Play ## Images ![3TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive HDD, USB 3.0, Compatible with PC, Mac, PS4 & Xbox - WDBWLG0030HBK-NESN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MDGnNGWYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this drive WD Elements Desktop work with my Xbox or PS4?

I didn't need the Wi-Fi part of the AirPort just the backup. So I found this hard drive. If I had a PC and not an Apple the installation might have been easier.

But got it installed and it works great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ XLNT for a Dish Wally DVR! *by J***D on May 25, 2020* After returning a Fantom drive (DOA) I got this Western Digital to be the dvr for my RV. The Wally is not very powerful, but this massive hard drive really adds muscle to the sytem. It was recognized immediately, I called to activate and, after a reboot, I could pause live TV - but could not yet record. Error message about "timer creation failed". What finally initialized this capability, I think, was going into dvr --> options --> manually create a timer, and then I just picked a channel number and a time - and it made its first recording. Worked from then on as it should. One big added benefit is the Wally can now download a huge amount of guide data. On its own you only see the current and next program. So highly recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 3TB Elements Desktop Hard Drive HDD, USB 3.0, Compatible with PC, Mac, PS4 & Xbox - WDBWLG0030HBK-NESN - Seagate Portable 2TB External Hard Drive HDD — USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, PlayStation, & Xbox -1-Year Rescue Service (STGX2000400) - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/5000163-3tb-elements-desktop-hard-drive-hdd-usb-3-0-compatible](https://www.desertcart.be/products/5000163-3tb-elements-desktop-hard-drive-hdd-usb-3-0-compatible) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
