Portable 5TB file storage with a USB-C connection

5TB HDDUSB-C / 5Gbps interfaceUSB poweredUSB-C cable included

The WD Elements Portable WDBLSS0050BBK-WESN is one graphite-black 5TB external hard disk drive for documents, photos, videos and extra computer storage. It connects through USB-C using a USB3.2 Gen1 interface and draws power from the USB connection, so no separate mains adapter is needed. A USB-C cable is included. This is the USB-C Elements variant, and it is a mechanical HDD rather than an SSD.

Before you order:
Check your computer connection and file-system requirements before moving important files. The drive can be formatted for Windows or Mac, but a format suitable for one workflow may need changing for another; formatting erases existing data. The 5Gbps figure describes the USB interface maximum and does not promise 625MB/s disk transfers. A USB-A-only computer needs a separately suitable connection solution unless confirmed in the supplied package.

What's in the Box

  • 1 × WD Elements Portable USB-C 5TB external HDD
  • 1 × USB-C cable

What It Means in Practice

  • Connect the drive to a compatible computer USB port, check that the volume is recognised, then copy files or select it as a destination in your chosen backup software. Software features and automatic scheduling depend on that software; no included backup licence is claimed here.
  • Keep another independent copy of important files. Moving the only copy onto an external drive is extra storage, while retaining an additional copy provides a backup.
  • USB3.2 Gen1 supports an interface rate up to 5Gbps, but HDD mechanics, file sizes, host connection and USB2.0 fallback affect actual transfer time.
  • At 240g and 110.8 × 82.2 × 23.7mm, it is suitable for a bag or desk. Place it on a stable surface during use and do not treat the plastic enclosure as a rugged or waterproof drive.

What Will Not Work

  • Assuming USB-C means SSD-class transfer speed, Thunderbolt or universal phone/tablet compatibility.
  • Relying on the interface headline as a guaranteed sustained disk read/write speed.
  • Treating the drive as waterproof, shock-rated storage or the only copy of irreplaceable files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it need a separate power adapter?
No. The exact model is USB bus powered and includes a USB-C cable.
Is this an SSD with 5Gbps real transfer speed?
No. It is a mechanical hard disk drive. 5Gbps is the USB3.2 Gen1 interface maximum, while actual read/write performance depends on the drive and workload.
Can it be used with Windows and Mac?
The exact-model authorised dealer states that it can be formatted for Windows or Mac. Choose a compatible file system for the intended use and copy existing files elsewhere before reformatting.
