This means that the CPU can perform AES encryption/decryption extremely efficiently. The vast majority of CPUs released in the past five years have been built with support for the AES-NI instruction set. In reality, you’re unlikely to notice any real-world performance impact. Technically, the encryption and decryption will be a little slower as your computer will be having to perform the task rather the drive itself. Although the Easystores don’t support hardware encryption there’s nothing stopping you from using something like BitLocker or VeraCrypt to keep your data safe. If you’re security-conscious and really want your data to be encrypted you may be thinking that the Easystore isn’t for you. At present, no WD Easystore drives support hardware encryption, according to this official document from Western Digital. Before data is written to disk, the chip encrypts it using the AES algorithm and likewise, after the encrypted data is read back from the disk, the same chip will decrypt it. What does this mean? Well basically, the drive’s controller has an onboard microchip capable of encrypting/decrypting data on the fly. The latest generation of WD Element drives support hardware encryption. If you don’t need your hard drive urgently, I would suggest you wait for the next Best Buy promotion and grab an Easystore when they’re on offer. At the time, it was impossible to find a 12TB Elements for anywhere near this price, making the Easystore the clear winner. For example, on Black Friday in 2019, Best Buy reduced the cost of the 12TB Easystore from $279.99 to just $179.99. The big advantage that the Easystore has though is that Best Buy will often run promotions, selling the Easystore at a big discount. For example, a 10TB Easystore will likely cost around the same as a 10TB Elements, and certainly within a margin of 10%. Generally, the cost of an Easystore and the cost of an Elements are fairly comparable. They can also be easily purchased online from any of the usual places (Amazon, eBay, NewEgg, etc). They can be purchased through any Wester Digital distributor or VAR across the globe. Unlike the Easystore, the Elements range of drives is not exclusive to any one retailer, making them more widely available. Through another online retail platform such as Amazon.Online through the official Best Buy website.If you live in one of the above countries you’ll be able to purchase the Easystore in one of several ways: This means that the Easystore isn’t officially available outside of these countries, as the product is exclusive to Best Buy. Best Buy is a US firm trading in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. To start with, the WD Easystore range of hard drives are only available through Best Buy. There are only minor differences between Easystore and Elements, but we’ll explore some of these in this article.
