WD 12TB Elements Desktop External HDD Hard Drive - Unboxing and Review

Unboxing and a quick review of a 12TB Western Digital Elements Desktop HDD. Bought at JB HiFi for $430 (May 2024).
Pros: low price, simplicity, low noise.
Cons: no bundled backup software, included WD drive management software wouldn't load (Windows 10).

Yes. Pretty standard for a spindle drive. Plus it's right on the bench, not tucked away in a case a foot level.
