Larger WD Elements drives

WD External and Portable SSD All Other External SSD

I own 8 different WD Elements external drives from the 500GB version up to the largest 3TB model. I have been waiting for a 4TB version to come out since WD announced that capacity drive.  Any chance WD will tell us when such a product will be available?  

I am completely happy with the USB 2.0 interface, but I agree with others here that it would be nice to upgrade it to USB 3.

i’ve been using these drives for 4-5 years with no failures and I am a strong WD supporter.

Just an update over 10 months since my initial posting. I was STILL waiting for WD to release an Elements product at 4TB, but here we are still stuck at a max of 3TB. I can no longer wait for WD to stop sitting on its hands. I have been patient and read reviews of the MyBook and MyCloud products that are now at 4TB, and none of them match the simplicity of the Elements line. I also reviewed the Seagate 4TB products and decided to go with the Seagate Backup Plus which is 4TB. $149 from Amazon. USB 3.0 straight out of the box with the ability to buy adapters to make it Firewire and/or Thunderbolt compatible. Hello WD, do you not perform market analysis? If WD ever releases a 4TB Elements product, I’ll be coming back to WD, but for now, WD has pushed me to become a Seagate customer.

Unfortunately no body else has voted for this particular idea.

We hope WD eventually gets the Elements to 4TB since this is the tendency judging by all the other external drives we offer at the moment.
