Unboxing the Western Digital Elements 1TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive

[unlokia]

TWO unboxings in one; first, you unboxed the box, then you unboxed the drive :-)

[taddamad]

@unlokia boxception

[TheMRTIMBUK2]

I have it, The main thing i hate about this is Power Cable, which make it much worse, you can't take it without P.Cable and make it less handy . what do you say.

Or if there is any way to Use it without P.Cable, like some Engineering work :)

[MAGiiCTOMAHAWKz]

"That's the hard drive in the box WHAT ELSE WOULD IT BE!

[unregisteredprod]

Brand new WD 1TB usb 2.0 external for 65bucks. pm me :)

[SH00T3RDUD3101]

omg its got more memory than an iPod shuffle!!!!

[Raffayshazad]

Man I have bought it right now

[xWalKerz]

Can you store games on the external HDD aswell?

[TheMRTIMBUK2]

@xWalKerz Yes you can .

[chrishowat3]

I got it in tesco for £50

[captaineurope28]

get to the point dude

[frankdbruin]

some things you say make no sense

[can192]

is that 3.5'' or 2.5'' ?

[TechnoCrazyKid]

the brown papers so it docent move about and damage you fucking idiot

[mcmamac]

but its not 1000GB is it!!!!!!!! its 931gB

[iKiweh]

Can you install games on to it instead of your c: drive? my c drve is running low on space and im thiinking of buying this.

[mcmamac]

@iKiweh yes you can

[kylegrantmorgan]

@iKiweh yes you can

[RushRulesAll]

You can drop it from 40 feet, huh? What are you an engineer now?

[Wierzs]

you're not green

[Famoussas666]

is there a possible way of me plugging this into my xbox and copying over the stuff from my old xbox 60 gb harddrive

[Avenger2108]

@Famoussas666 You would have to format this hard drive to save any type of Xbox info on there. Voids the warranty but its possible

[Poohbear619]

why are you comparing an ipod nano to an external HDD??

if you knew anything about apple, you'd know you cant store any proper data on the ipod anyway. and an ipod uses flash memory. and an ipod can play music. god i could go on forever, but really its like comparing an orange to a carpet. technically yes, you can stand on both of them, but that doesnt allow you to compare them does it?

[adamsy1]

If you dont mind how long did this product last you?

[Kealtyrock]

thank you very informative

[BestFailsCod]

Well it's £41.09 now :P

[jesserosas88]

The 1tb is about $70 in ebay..keep also in mind..its not 1tb..its actually about 940gb once is installed..while the 2tb is $99..its common sense..I got the 2tb..actually is 1.8tb once you install it..you get almost one 1 more tb for $30 more for me the real deal is the 2tb..if you gree give me thumbs up :-)

[WLOgamer]

i got the 2 tb :D

[sebs30v]

He talks like that cause people are dumb, sad but true.

[filthpigity]

Wow you are such a colossal tard. What do you think we are all children?

[TheMrDavidKing]

i got the 1.5tb for £49 :P

[Diwash1]

what??.,..............isnt the power supply to the hard drive done from the usb cable itself..........the adapter becomes quite a bulk to carry around.......???

[yessar9]

you mght fill up the 1000gb but you'll have an extra 24gb ya dopey.

[darrenbritton]

@yessar9 actually a 1tb drive holds around 931GB due to the TiB-TB confusion

[dean0105]

will it blend??

[TheMrDavidKing]

£43 now :P

[st0neageman]

Size does not determine a crap. In 1950s, a 5mb hard drive is bigger than one person. It is interesting to think of how fast technology is moving.

[mattsped]

30/40ft? doubt that one.

[CODxKILLA]

ooooooh... i just ordered mine for £42 :)

[ubuntu387]

"if you drohp dis from fhity fhoty fheet, tis a vhery though dhrive with RHUBBHER ENDS" Learn to fuckin talk "MATE"!

[GAM0H0l1C]

Can this be used with the PS3? Would I have to format it to work?

[MrLoiti100]

Good rewiew!

[Maria70324]

Good job dude thanks a lot

[beeskieboll]

Only type of boxes you'll ever get into I guess :P

[The123Robo]

why do you talk to everyone like they are 10 ?

[LoveDetox]

@The123Robo because the guy is 10...?

[Vibledy]

@The123Robo Do your own vid instead of talking BS

[djee90]

nerd

[Ip0d4GHcK]

wil it work on a mac and will it store games and word documents?

[MrGermanBratwurst]

@Ip0d4GHcK You have to go in the "Disk Utility" App and reformat the drive to HFS+

Then it work! But then it WON´T work under Windows anymore!!!

In Bootcamp with Bootcamp drivers you can read, but not write!

To make it writable in Mac and Windows and Linux use FAT32!

[aronbenzonrivero]

Hi! can i use this drive to play movies on my LEDTV? my WD passport can play directly! thanks and also nice review!

[TimJamesLoe]

does it work for laptop?

[068674415]

@TimJamesLoe yup :)

[SuperBoozeBoy]

*1024 Gb

[wetwilly399]

@DJH4ZELL i was gonna say that...

[timiou1995]

4:28 thats what she said

[m4tttc]

well would you say this external is reliable for a couple years? cuz im planning on upgrading to passport after using this for a few years when going to college

[chieftech100]

Preety good man

[ltzoidberg1]

1024gb not 1000

[JACKD00R]

@ltzoidberg1 probly actually less than 1000gb after formatting

[elDebyr]

@ltzoidberg1

1TB = 1024GB (931GB Real)

;D

[jpmonette]

lol... This can't survive a "30-40 feet" drop like you said, lol. The solid appearance doesn't mean shit. Pretty subjective

[PurplePanda1233]

Could I use this with my laptop?

[presuntodragon]

Nice vid. Well, i have the 2tb version, but doesn't have the rubber protection, maybe that's a tiny complain. One question, my brother told me that mostly external hard drives don't need power cord, only the usb. what could be the reason for this model to need it?

[yudhamica17]

what camera are you using its very clear

[roflhax]

and btw, 1000 GB aint 1 TB ;) 1024 on the otherhand.... ;) and their easy to fill up..i'v got 2 TB and got probably less then 500 GB free memory

[DimSimCard]

is there a power button for this hard drive????

[GuitarsAreFriends]

Hey dude nice video, Can you tell me if this will be compatable with the Ps3?

Many thanks

[GeekTeen]

@GuitarsAreFriends it's a desktop HDD, so no. You need a 2.5" SATA HDD, preferably not in an enclosure unless you don't mind getting a screwdriver and taking it out. PM me if you're still unsure :). Nice video btw Greenman. EMZ=]

[nellyCU]

Is it possible to install softwares on this hard drive like adobe cs5?

[Ghis1964c]

Just back from walmart where I saw a 1tb and bought it. Not on sale $115 and then taxe.

Yesterday, I phone my pc store-shop for some memory but ask em about the price for one of those WD 1TB $155. Amazon $129 on sale. Directcanada $99 (shipping is around $10)(all can dollars)

I'm looking around to see if anyone un-cased it all to find out if it can be internally install as one more slave drive.

Yeah I should've bought a WD10EARS at $69,but saw it too late;)

Peace

[chaseydarko]

how the helldo people sit and watch these things all the way through. It is very imformative i'll give him that but i wanted to bash my head against the wall less than a minute in.

[m0xalis]

@chaseydarko

that's why there's the little bar below the video where you can skip to the part you're most interested in

[TheSharkPrince]

Nice video bro.

Question. When I transfer all my music to the external hard drive, will I still be able to listen to the transfered music on my computer?

[maxvaillancourt]

2:57 : Alright... How can I open it? lol Nice unboxing! Clear and well explained :D

[bensonak47]

5400 or 7200 rpm?

[lattlay]

it does work with macs right?

[TurboMan12121212]

is this the portable or desktop version?

[sam8404]

@GreenManVideos Does this have to be plugged in to the wall to work or will it run off USB

[The360Films]

im gonna get one from best buy for 90 tommorow

[Braxton619]

$97 for it? Newegg has it right now for $69.99.

[sagbags8]

can it be used for any computer monitor?

[tysondm007]

1 TB = 1024 GB

[EeezyLive]

@tysondm007 i was about to write it down.. then i scrolled and saw this..

[SaiE8]

@tysondm007

1TB = 976GB of actual storage considering 1024 makes up 1mb.



[mattybro88]

You from Manchester mate?

[Thorpe]

The brown paper is padding. You wouldn't want a broken hard drive now, would you in transit? *rolls eyes*

[jrobBHS]

1 gb does not equal 1000 mb 1gb = 1024 mb

and if you want an external hard drive do yourself a favor and buy a casing and hard drive seperate. It might run you a little more but you won't get stuck with a below par HD and slow ports(usb 2.0) because if you have a eHD this big then it will take hours to write this thing full.

[467SHARPSHOOTER]

i like how you compared a shuffle to hat beast :D

[herzali]

thanks a lot ! am gonna buy it :)

[indoeveli]

Is this compatible wit a Imac?

[seetherfan1369]

also... stop critiquing every goddamn thing in the box. We all know it comes with paper, manuals, a disc perhaps... Its the usual bullshit that comes with it. You dont have to read every motherfucking thing on the back because you know what... WE DONT GIVE A FAT RAT'S FUCKING ASS!!!!!!!! You act like you're opening up someone's heart on the chopping block or something. ITS A HARD DRIVE, not some foreign object.

[mattybro88]

@seetherfan1369 LOL, wtf, shut the fuck up you bellend!

[seetherfan1369]

@mattybro88 um... ouch? what the fuck is a bellend? use words that people other than YOU know, ok? dumbass

[mattybro88]

@seetherfan1369 Definition;

9. bellend (16 up, 6 down)

An idiot, an unschooled, uncultured oik.

One who behaves inappropriately, sometimes in a humourous fashion.

A twat.

[seetherfan1369]

@mattybro88 whatever doucher... go fuck your brother some more

[mattybro88]

@seetherfan1369 lol this comment automatically results in you losing the argument. fucking LATERZ! cunt!

[seetherfan1369]

@mattybro88 whatever you say pigfucker

[hoskind12]

@seetherfan1369 lol you dont know what a bellend is?

[seetherfan1369]

@hoskind12 no, i dont know, and i really dont give a fuck. thank you, drive thru!

[hoskind12]

@seetherfan1369 drive through wtf?

really hate youtube people all so aggressive? Did you not notice the "LOL" its aj oke ffs

[seetherfan1369]

I wish you fuckers would stop saying 1TB over and fucking over because its actually 930GB after you format the bastard... get your storage info right why dont ya.

[ibloxProductionz]

@seetherfan1369 931gb xD anyway yea, i have the newer version

[fenackerpan]

You don't get an Instruction booklet or any advice on how to get that info.

[daviduck1]

will it ever fill up?

[TheSAHProductions]

OMG I have the same excact harddrive, It rules and I have about 700gigs free!!! How much did you pay, I payed a total of $120 from dell!!!!!

[xinoxion]

wich is better for gaming 1T 64 mb cache buffer or 16 mb cahe buffer?

[TomHaynes666]

i noticed you said it was very durable and would withstand a 30 to 40 foot drop. Would you mind making a video to prove this please, its a common problem of mine you see, i always accidentally through my external hard drives out of the window so proof of this would be great. Thanks

[ProjectXenon]

memory.. lol

[seetherfan1369]

that's what i thought when he said memory... hahaha. dumbass

[wiiman6969]

hes a wimp he cant even open the tape of the hard drive cover

[maylee992]

a cute wimp

[AboyAMS]

dude...if u plug it in in a laptop somewhere does it autocharge or u need to charge it 1st?? sorry,noob here

[ez4u2sa67]

You don't charge it. You plug it into the power cable and the usb cable and start using it. It's meant to stay in one place not to be taken around.

[cwade12c]

Lol, I got this in 1.5TB for $99

[piranhaleg]

@cwade12c  WHERE FOR 99?

[cwade12c]

Called "GreenWood PC". I think it might be a local shop... it was a Christmas sale.

I've seen them for like $129 @ Dell's website though..

[hustletv]

These are good. I got 2. need to get 4 more.

[K6E6]

why do u need a power supply?

[XohshitztonysbackX]

to turn it on

[K6E6]

aye but should it not just use the same lead which goes into the computer that gives it power.

do you know if this will work with a mac comp too?

[XohshitztonysbackX]

nope the usb plug is just a plug for the computer to recongized it and the adapter gives it power to turn the harddrive on and not sure if it works on mac or not.

[K6E6]

ok thank you

[erinrulz2]

i got a 1.5 TB for $160 Australian

[kyledv64]

I Bought this Hard Drive on Black Friday for $55

[Ashtree81]

What is the point of this video???

[samjtm]

250 thousand em pe free's. lol

[S2BRAF]

just wondering, how is your hard drive doing?

[XohshitztonysbackX]

I have the same kind and got it on black friday even though it's on sale til Saturday before 1pm 60.00 at Target

[lounewyorklou]

the paper isn't stupid its like foam it protects the product

[TheMclovin781]

hey matt do you get payed for making videos????

[TheHelpaholic]

Hi Matt good video !! BTW just to let you know you definitely should get MW2 its AMAZING!!!

[thegadgetzone]

Nice unboxingg!

[InTheZoneTech]

I might get a external hard drive. Is that hard drive portable or desktop?

Thanks for the cool video

[TheParallex]

just take the hard drive out of that external hdd and put it in ur computer

[TheParallex]

y is ur webcam facing ur wall

[GreenManVideos]

I was tidying up behind my desk I must have moved it with my arm.

[TheParallex]

what dont u get the intro and outtro are so crap

[amad132]

@GreenManVideos

can you tel me that can i install my windows on this usb hard drive or can i install my software on this usb drive to use with my pc

[aapinator]

@TheParallex because it's annoying to just chill when there's a cam pointing at your face. You never know if someone is watching you, eh? People get the impression that someone is fapping way to fast. I left my cam on once and was writing something, and my friend was laughing on MSN, saying that I was masturbating or something. It sucks - trust me lol.

[feveronceagain123]

hope i win

[ZenonZ800]

cool!!!i hope i win..hahaha

[NewPSCity]

awesome matt.

[GreenManVideos]

Thanks.
