Desktop archive storage

The WD Elements desktop drive provides 26TB of capacity for archiving photos, videos, music and important documents. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 for fast data transfers and plug-and-play expandability.

Simple USB connection

Plug the drive into a USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and it is recognised immediately without extra drivers. The main issue is ensuring the host port supplies enough power for a desktop-class mechanism.

Check port and cable

Verify your computer has an available USB 3.0 or USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port and use the supplied cable for reliable 5Gbps throughput. Older USB 2.0 ports will limit transfer speed considerably.
