It’s not SSD-fast, but for bulk storage, it’s more than sufficient. • 🔌 Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Setup is effortless—just connect and go. No complicated software or formatting headaches. • 💰 Excellent Value: At around 1.3 cents per gigabyte during deals A, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your storage. • 🖤 Minimalist Design: The sleek black casing fits unobtrusively into any workspace. It’s a no-frills look, but it gets the job done. Things to note: • It’s a desktop-style drive, so it requires external power—not ideal for travel. • Some users report mild noise and heat during extended use B, but nothing out of the ordinary for a high-capacity HDD.

I also recover data from hard drives, so I have a decent idea of what we're dealing with here. To put it bluntly, all consumer level hard drives are not great, but WD (Which bought out Hitachi Storage) is simply the best. It's why they cost more, and it's worth every cent. I've had brand new Seagate drives dead, right out of the 20-count boxes we get. Speed wise, I am not really sure how fast these are compared to other brands, but with SSDs, I view hard drives as a cheap/slow storage space. And 1 TB is a LOT of data if you think about it. I'm writing this on the 14TB drive, but that can be hundreds of thousands of pictures for example. So the real question is "What would you do if you lost them all?" Take it from me, it is always "When" is it going to die and not "if". The drive will fail, no matter what. So you should always have a backup drive. If this is your backup drive, then you're all set. If this is your "main" drive, then consider buying a second, even if the second one is a Seagate - point being you are covered when the main one breaks. I have taken these apart before (Not the more modern very large ones) and those drives did work as internal drives, but I would hesitate to do that simply because you're probably going to trash your warrantee when you try and return a case that has a bunch of broken tabs (The cases for these elements drives are terrible and fall apart when you try to take them apart). My drive shipped with a rather small power brick, which was a nice touch. I think the cable length was something like 5 feet, so it's not a super short cord. Used the USB to connect to a Windows 11 laptop and it found the drive right away without any issues at all. If you use this as a permanent drive, e.g. a home network share, then you can go into Windows Device Manager and switch the drive type to include caching which speeds up the drive a bit (At the expense of data loss if you do not eject the drive before you yank the plug). If data integrity is essential, then for consumers, I would recommend the Red series drives as they are made for home network storage units. For corporate, the Enterprise drives (Which are usually SAS and not SATA) are the way to go. Of course none of those are USB drives, but I'm throwing this out there in case you have the option of going with an internal drive. At the end of the day though, like I started with, data integrity is the most important thing for me, and it doesn't get better than Western Digital. ## Features - High-capacity add-on storage.Specific uses: Personal - Fast data transfers - Plug-and-play ready for Windows PCs - WD quality inside and out ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07YD3G568 | | Additional Features | High-capacity add-on storage | | Best Sellers Rank | #4 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | Western Digital | | Built-In Media | WD Elements hard drive USB cable AC adapter Quick Install Guide | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 14 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,828 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 5 gigabits_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 14 TB | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Form Factor | 3.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00718037873022 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | USB 2.0/3.0 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1 | | Hard-Drive Size | 14 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | USB | | Hardware Platform | Mac, PC | | Installation Type | Not Specified | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 9"L x 8"W x 3.5"Th | | Item Type Name | HDD | | Item Weight | 2.7 pounds | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Media Speed | 5 gigabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | WDBWLG0140HBK-NESN | | Model Name | Elements Desktop | | Model Number | WDBWLG0140HBK-NESN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 113.5 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | High-capacity add-on storage | | Specific Uses For Product | Personal | | UPC | 718037873022 | | Warranty Description | 2-year manufacturer's limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Western Digital - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 14 TB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** USB 2.0/3.0 - **Installation Type:** Not Specified - **Special Feature:** High-capacity add-on storage ## Images ![14TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 external hard drive for plug-and-play storage - Western DigitalBWLG0140HBK-NESN - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/416Q4bXVG5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Number Of Items, Memory Storage Capacity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this drive work with my Xbox or PS4?

One had a corruption so I bought a third to transfer files. I reformatted the corrupt unit and it works great again. Still going strong after a couple years of daily use. One thing to note, I don’t travel with these so they stay on a shelf with rubber insulators underneath to prevent bumps and shock. For the price they’re a good value. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 14TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 external hard drive for plug-and-play storage - Western DigitalBWLG0140HBK-NESN - UGREEN 10 Gbps Micro B to USB C Hard Drive Cables, 1.5FT USB C to Micro B, External Hard Drive Cable Compatible with MacBook Pro/Air, iPad/Tablet, iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S24, WD Seagate etc - Amazon Basics USB-C to Micro USB 3.1 Gen 2 Fast Charging Cable, 10Gbps High-Speed, 3 Foot, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/166552905-14tb-elements-desktop-external-hard-drive-usb-3-0-external](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/166552905-14tb-elements-desktop-external-hard-drive-usb-3-0-external) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
