Easystore = BestBuy Exclusive model/branding
Elements = "everywhere else"
Elements = Has hardware encryption
Easystore = No encryption
I don't know if anything changes beyond that -- if one is easier than the other to "shuck" or if the internal drives are different? But I've been buying externals for years -- SanDisk, Elements, Easystore, and I really haven't noticed any issues/differences between them. For me, I'd say go with the size that makes most sense to you.
14 TB = 200 (Easystore)
16 TB = 240 (Elements)
18 TB = 280 (Easystore)
The 14TB seems to be the best value, after that you can add $20 TB (x2) for the elements or $20 TB (x4) for the easystore if you needed more storage, but I wouldn't necessarily expect much of a noticeable difference (for an average user) between either.
I will say that my NEW "EasyStore" drives (BestBuy 2022 black friday) are much louder/noisier than previous years. I don't know if Elements is the same?
and NO encryption on the Elements, My Books have the encryption. folks keep making up stuff
Really wish there was an easy way for me to sell some of my older external HDDs (12tb-14tb) and upgrade. I hate selling on eBay!

You need a micro b to usb-c cable. I bought this one and it works fine
