    The Hard drive crashed out in less than 9 days after use. Now I have to take it to data salvage and it likely cost More than the drive itself. This really sucks

    The storage capacity was good, however the only drawback was that you must plug it in for power. Next time I’m buying one that can power from the computer via USB

    All my WD drives require just a bit of finagling upon initial setup. Nothing too complicated so it’s not a big deal. But I’ve never had an issue with them like I have other brands.
