The WD Elements SE SSD is available in three capacities: 480GB, 1TB, and 2TB. This time I will be using the 2TB version. The package looks like this.
Inside the box are the WD Elements SE SSD drive itself, a USB cable, and a manual. The side of the USB cable that goes into the WD Elements SE SSD is USB Micro B, and the side that goes into your computer, etc. is USB Type A.
The WD Elements SE SSD looks like this. Western Digital logo written at top left.
On the back side the capacity and model name are written.
The connection station is USB Micro B.
The WD Elements SE SSD measures 64.5mm long x 64.5mm wide x 8.72mm thick. To make the size easier to understand, it looks like this when lined up with the iPhone 12 with a long side of 146.7mm.
The actual weight was 27 grams.
Because it is small and lightweight, it can be easily carried even in a small bag.
Fits perfectly in a chest pocket or pants pocket.
When I checked the free space in Windows properties, it was 1.81 TB.

Next, to check the transfer speed in an actual usage environment, I created a folder on my computer containing 208 images with a total capacity of 1.46GB.
Copy all the images in the created folder to the WD Elements SE SSD and measure the time it takes to copy with a stopwatch.
It took 10.22 seconds to copy 208 photos, for a total of 1.46GB.
The 2TB version of the WD Elements SE SSD is available on Amazon.co.jp for 17,130 yen including tax at the time of creation.
