A complete breakdown on which hard disk to buy whether the My passport series or WD Elements
WD Elements ( 1TB - Price range Rs 3,900 [60$] http://amzn.to/1EfvMPK)
As the name suggests “Elements” with its compact design is the most basic edition in WD’s series, it’s highly durable and considering the pricing point of this gizmo I would definitely consider this a good value for money.
Suitability: - People who want a hard disk just to dumb their data; this is one of the best hard disk out there considering its price and brand value. Certainly not for the fashionista’s out there as Elements staying true to its name has not flamboyant design and comes in just one single contrast of Grey and Black.

No External Power

Compact Design

Comes in a nice fancy packaging, There is not much difference between the Elements and My Passport.
But this hard disk does come with some pre-installed software which might come in handy like Cloud back up and Hard disk encryption while the new Elements will only provide a trial version in their 2017 models
WD have since updated and
changed their flagship model, though specification and working still remains
the same. However they have transformed style from a classic stripes design to
a futuristic eye candy touch and feel, The white color Passport is an eye candy
and I personally own one of these and I'm in love with it, the only drawback is
the price for the My Passport - White version is the price tag, The My Passport
- Black (2TB) would cost your around 7,500 rupees, however the White version
would cost you around 13,000 bux! Beauty has its price - but who knew WD would
make it this pricey to obtain.
Suitability:- This would be the best option to those who use their hard disk to store important data and not just to dump their data, Using the cloud back up and password protection the user can have a backup and restrict intruders in accessing there data.

FAQ
Why not buy Seagate Backup Slim?
Simply put, I like Western Digital over Seagate due to WD’s efficient capability of handling heating issues over long period of usage.
