This WD Elements 1.5 TB USB 2.0 has a sleek and sexy, minimalist design. It is well built overall and constructed of durable plastic. There is a slot for the USB cable, a slot for the power adapter and a tiny circular white light which blinks when it is in use (the light is not overwhelming as some hard drives can be). All three of these features are on one side/face of the hard drive (as shown in the picture), so if you have this WD Elements 1.5 TB USB 2.0 plugged in and it is facing away from you, you would no’t see the light at all.

So, here are reviews about the performance of this WD Elements 1.5 TB USB 2.0:
1) Build and form factor – Nice sleek looking enclosures. All black, the sides are fingerprint magnets with a glossy finish. The top and bottom panels have a matte finish. Looks matter to me, even if it just an external drive. The microUSB and AC sockets are closely spaced with a small white indicator light besides them. All in all very compact, sleek, and aesthetically pleasing device.
2) Performance – I am getting constantly good speeds on these WD Elements 1.5 TB USB 2.0 drives. Reads at 30MB/s and writes at about 24MB/s, which is good and fast enough for my needs.
