WD Elements Hard Drive unboxing, testing and review

Hey internet,
Today I am going to unbox my first tech stuff which I bought with my first earnings. You can read that post here - where I invested my first earnings? Entrepreneur Tips. So the product that I am going to review is WD (Wester Digital)  Elements Hard Drive. I was thinking to make an YouTube video unboxing it but I am sure there would be tons of results already so I gave it a pass.

The message I wrote for myself which came in with the product

There are two things that went through my mind when I wanted to purchase a hard drive because everyone wants to invest in the best thing. First one is that which is the best hard drive in market and second is, if the product is really reliable because you do not want to lose your backup data when the whole point of buying a hard drive is save from data lose. Finally after some research I made a decision and I am going to answer those two doubts which might occur to you as well.

Which is the best hard drive in market?

Seagate and WD are the famous for hard drive's as their primary purpose is to make the best hard drives. So they both are dedicated brands in that industry. These two hold the top 2 positions on any site or in market then comes the local or upcoming brands/companies. Having said that, it does not mean that you cannot go for another brands. As per your budget and requirements you can choose any other hard drive. I bought one of these brands i.e. WD because of the small pinch that I wanted a reliable drive. I am a proud owner of Seagate Expansion too. I bought it online from a trusted site and wanted to use it as my portable drive but a month later I set it as internal drive for Sony viao laptop. It has been 2 years, no complaints so far. So, if you are sure that a certain company product does well then go for it. There is no hard and fast rule that you have to buy a high end branded thingy.

The Seagate expansion that I bought was this -

My requirement was to buy 1 TB because if you compare the price of 500 GB hard drive and 1 TB (500 GB+500 GB) then you will notice that by adding few more bucks you can get 1 TB drive. Usually when features are double the price doubles but in this case its around 15-25% hike that's all. Now, there is 30-50% hike in 1 TB and 2 TB so why not go for it? The reason I did not go for it is because I download lot of E-Books and files from clients or for learning purpose. There are lot of chances that my drive will get contaminated by virus. Lets say I bought a 2 TB drive and transferred each and every file for backup and then due to some bug hard drive collapsed and I do not have any other backup. What would I do? So I prefer 1 TB drive for corporate use and another 1 TB for personal use. Another possibility is to buy a 2 TB drive for 1 use and only if you are sure to keep the data as well as drive safe. I have no such faith so I bought 1 TB as per my requirement.

How do I know that the product is reliable?

In this internet era the first thing you would consider doing is to read as much reviews as possible and coming to a conclusion if that product is really a good buy. True that is just 50% of the work done. But what you are not aware of is that, companies or sellers can pay for posting positive reviews and this is the utter fact. Most of the online sites have a policy that sellers cannot exchange products for reviews nor they can pay for a posting a positive review for them yet there are back-doors you know. I am a huge reviewer (Yet I am so poor in judging people, sigh) on a well known internet marketing forum but I post unbiased reviews since being genuine is rare. Anyway, the other 50% is to get out of your home physically and inquire about those in real market. Go visit your

     This is a true story of a young woman who went through the most gruesome fire.
It was September 25, 2000. Maricel Apatan was an 11-year old girl in Zamboanga. On that day, this little girl went with her uncle to draw water.
Along the way, four men met them. They were carrying long knives. They told her uncle to face down on the ground, and they hacked him on the neck and killed him.
Maricel was in total shock, especially that the men were their neighbors. She tried to escape, but the men ran after her.
She cried, “Kuya, ‘wag po, ‘wag n’yo akong tagain! Maawa po kayo sa akin!” (“Don’t kill me! Have mercy on me!”)
But they weren’t listening. With a long knife, a man slashed her on the neck too.
Maricel fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
When she woke up, she saw a lot of blood. She also saw the feet of the men around her, but she pretended to be dead.



   When they walked away, Maricel ran back home. But along the way, she saw that both her hands were falling off. Because the men hacked them too. She cried but she kept running.
Sometimes, she would faint and fall to the ground. But she’d regain consciousness and run again.
When she was near her home, Maricel called her mother.
Upon seeing her daughter, her mother screamed in terror. She wrapped her bloodied child in a blanket and carried her to the hospital.


Here was the problem: From her house to the highway, it was a 12-kilometer walk. It took them 4 hours just to reach the highway.
When they arrived in the hospital, the doctors thought Maricel was going to die. But for 5 hours, they operated on her. It took 25 stitches to stitch together the long knife wound in her neck and back.
