Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Elements Desktop need its own power supply?
Yes. As a 3.5-inch desktop drive it uses the included mains power adapter rather than drawing power from the USB port, so it is meant to sit on your desk.
Does it come with backup software or encryption?
No. The Elements Desktop is a basic plug-and-play drive without bundled software or hardware encryption. If you need those, the WD My Book adds backup software and password protection.
Does it work with a Mac?
It ships NTFS-formatted for Windows. For full read and write on macOS or for Time Machine, reformat it to exFAT or a Mac format using Disk Utility.
What do I need to know before buying the Elements Desktop?
It is a high-capacity desktop hard drive best suited to stationary backup and archiving rather than travel, and it favours affordable capacity over SSD speed.
Singular Expert Insight
At 12TB the Elements Desktop is one of the most cost-effective ways to add large bulk storage at a desk: 3.5-inch desktop drives give far more capacity per euro than portable drives. If you want built-in hardware encryption and backup software, the WD My Book is the step up; if you need redundancy, a RAID storage appliance is better. For affordable, stationary high-capacity storage, though, this is excellent value, complementing any portable hard drive you carry day to day.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You want large, affordable 12TB desktop storage for backups and archives, prefer plug-and-play with no software, and do not need to carry it around.
Skip it if
You need a portable, bus-powered drive, SSD speed, RAID redundancy, or hardware encryption — this is a single mains-powered desktop HDD.
Also consider
The WD My Book for encryption and backup software, a NAS for redundancy, or a portable drive for travel.
