WD Elements 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 Black
Cons:No cooling fan and poor airflow so overheats a bit when large files are transferred. (up to about 115 degrees F) Will not cool even that well laying on it's side.

Pros:Easy to install. Stands vertically. Lot's of storage for the price.
Comment:
I have two of these drives now. Even with the slight overheat issue I still find them reliable and lot's of bang for the buck. I would buy another if I needed more economical storage space. USB cable is long enough for my purposes. I would recommend sticking some rubber feet onto the bottom of the unit so as to raise the height and allow better airflow.

WD Elements 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 Black
Cons:Larger than some external drives

Pros:Extremely large storage space
Comment:
This drive was extremely easy to hook up right out of the box. It has a huge storage space that you will never be able to fill. It is USB 3.0 compatible so you get very fast transfer speeds.

WD Elements 4TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 Black
Cons:USB cable is too short for what it should be, warranty is also too short.

Pros:It's not tipy, write speed is half desent for usb drive 62-67MB/s, spins down to quiet drive even full spin is barely audible, has a power switch on back.
Comment:
It's an external usb hdd slightly better than the Seagate back-up plus I own both and would buy the WD elements again over the Seagate.I would've given it 4 stars if the USB cable was a foot or two longer but it's not so 3 stars you get.
