I researched the WD Elements Desktop external hard drive over the past few days because I need reliable storage for backups and large files. I checked reviews from sources like The New York Times, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and these two models are often recommended:
WD 20TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive

Western Digital 8TB Elements Desktop External Hard Drive

However, I’m having trouble deciding if it’s the right choice or if the Seagate Expansion would be better.
I mainly want it for data backup, movies, games, and general storage. I don’t need SSD-level speed, but I do want good reliability and performance for long-term use. So which one should I buy? Or is there a better option I should consider?
Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
