“I have a Western Digital 1TB Elements Portable external hard drive, which used to work well with my friend’s computer. This is very good drive and I recommend buying them.My WD hard drive not being recognized in Windows 10 Of course these are not portable but I've used both WD and Seagate portable drives and I can say that they too get heated up when using continuously and the speeds are very low (110 MBps write on outer Cylinders and 50-60 MBps write on inner cylinders) compared to My Book desktop drive. I can say these drives are cheap by comparing the price/TB in the Indian market.

Heat is bad for hard drives and I recommend you to cool them by placing a 12v DC fan on the top of it. The models I got are not Helium filled and the temperatures may rise above 56° C if continuously used and are not cooled. Coming to speeds, you can get upto 210 MBps when writing to outer Cylinders and 110 MBps when writing to inner cylinders. So if you buy an 8 TB and above drive, they will be CMR. Yes they did, but only for the capacities lesser than 8 TB. There is all this commotion that WD have changed the internal drives in My Books and elements to SMR. I bought 2 of these on prime day sale, so I got each for 12500.
