Using an SSD is the greatest feeling and it helps in working on stuff and getting things done faster. We were able to backup and restore files at our finger clicks and this has been an added advantage. We were able to use the Western Digital Elements storage devices for all the users in our company and in turn secure documents of great value.
  • Fast Backups
  • Good pricing
  • Easy to use
  • Great and sleek designs
  • Work on the storage to cloud links
  • Work on the ability to reduce duplications
  • Find easier ways to backup files that already exists
1) We can use this storage option as it is well suited for any major backup or transfer of files. It can be very handy in migrations. 2) The best option in WD elements are the storage devices as they are priced at such reasonable prices that the common man never suffers
  • Pricing
  • Design
  • Capacity and Cloud transfers
  • We were able to backup all major documents
  • Accessible documents on the go helped achieve more business
  • Best way to share data
I think pricing makes a lot of difference when it comes to the common man and in turn it helps a person define and buy stuff. Samsung has a much higher price for its SSD and the Western Digital Elements has always kept in mind the pricing and this stands out a lot.

SSD is helpful to get better performance and with Western Digital, it has better performance in IOPS comparing other vendors. Moreover, it gives more features from the driver's point of view as it helps to create backup partitions properly and works for both Windows/MAC environments parallelly.
  • Helps to work in both Windows/MAC environment
  • Have tool that helps to use the hard disk as backup recovery points
  • Drivers for WD gives better control than other vendors
  • Not much of heating issues
  • Not much
  • Pricing can be reduced ;)
For use in both Windows and Mac OS, it was well suited by default. Other hardware doesn't really allow multi os file system access.
  • Tools available to access the files in multi os environment
  • Recovery points
  • Disk partitions
  • It helps avoid maintaining 2 different hard disks for different os or performing migration always before formatting the file system type.
  • It helped to reduce cost of maintenance and double hardware procurement.
None of the brands mentioned above allow easy maintainability.

We have replaced all the traditional disks to SSD disks. The main problem that we had was the traditional disks after some years presents some problems and with this problem the servers and computers of the users were affected causing down times in the operation, impacting directly to the business core of the company.
  • Fast I/O
  • Secure
  • No support needed
  • Long live
  • Disks of user's computers
  • Servers
  • External Storage
We started saving the information of the user's computers on external storage SSD (portable), we found the solution with the computers changing the original disks to SSD, then we checked that the new disks never fail and bought a simple n traditional NAS of Western Digital with SSD disks, we achieved no problems with the data, and then we made the decision of invest on change the disks of the servers.
  • Secure
  • No additional contracts
  • easy to install
  • No down times any more
  • No extra support needed
  • Save more than 100 dollars per month in change old disks
The price is the best option, and a key differentiator, the support and the native application for desktop and for mobile take advantages to others brands or manufactures, this apps are periodically updated this is a plus because others brands only update their apps one per year or more time.
