Deal | 22 TB WD Elements USB 3.0 external hard drive now 31% off on Amazon

The WD Elements desktop external hard drive is a very popular storage solution for home users on Amazon, with an impressive number of 21,366 user ratings alongside over 1,000 answered questions. Available with capacities between 4 TB and 22 TB, this hard drive is currently the subject of generous discounts that make the high-capacity versions very attractive. The 22 TB model, for example, labeled WDBWLG0220HBK-NESN, is 31% down to US$379.99, from a list price of US$549.99.

The WD Elements houses a 3.5-inch mechanical drive and allows for fast data transfers via USB 3.0 but, if that option is not available, it also works with the older USB 2.0 interface. This drive works with Windows PCs, but also with Macs (a reformat is needed to ensure compatibility, in this case). Sadly, hardware encryption and password protection are not available.

The rating obtained by combining the user reviews for all capacities available on Amazon is a very good 4.6/5, with a breakdown by feature that highlights no less than six attributes, namely ease of use (4.7), storage capacity (4.6), durability (4.5), sleep mode (4.3), tech support (4.2), and portability (4.1). The most generous discount currently available is a 44% that takes the 16 TB model (WDBWLG0160HBK-NESN) from US$449.99 to US$249.99, so those who consider that 22 TB is too much for their needs might want to check this one out instead.
