Portable solid-state drives have yet to reach a stage where they can offer a whopping 20TB of space to customers. Let us be honest, those will probably cost your right arm if manufacturers ever had an idea of releasing such products. If you want to safely tuck away your data with the intention of accessing it once in a while, a portable hard drive is the right direction to go down. Fortunately, on Amazon, the 20TB version of the Western Digital Elements is $40 cheaper, with this hard drive currently available for $279.99.
What is interesting about the latest deal is that the 14TB portable hard drive and the 20TB one are available at the same $279.99, meaning that you get an additional 6TB of space at no extra charge. Since the Elements HDD features a 3.5-inch form factor, it will sport a larger footprint than traditional SSDs. Another thing to keep in mind is that while the storage medium features a ‘plug and play’ functionality for both Windows and macOS, it needs external power through the included adapter to operate, so remember that you have one near your computer or laptop.
The large base of the Western Digital Elements 20TB portable hard drive means that it can be seated easily on any flat surface, but given that there is a rotating pin inside one of these, you have to be extremely careful when carrying it around. An increased number of bumps could potentially mean that the portable hard drive stops working, resulting in the loss of terabytes of data, but if you are someone who has used such products, you probably already knew the pros and cons.
