    Fails WD's Drive Utility

    Fails WD's own Drive Utilities diagnostics.... Hard drive reports as a WD80EMZZ which is a reasonably fast drive (Read 231MB/s - Write 216MB/s) but unfortunately does not pass WD's Drive Utilities - Extended test. Keeps hanging at 90% completion even after running for 20 hours. WD is not known for writing good software but I also wasn't going to trust storing my files on a hard drive that won't pass their own diagnostics.

    I purchased the WD easy store portable hard drive about a month an a half. I still trying to get it to working. The first problem is that their is no instructioning to follow. I have try to backup my computer for a few weeks and still won't backup my computer. I waited to long to return this product, now I am stuck with it. I thought I was getting a great idea but like some people say if it too good to be true , you better be careful. Now I have a nice looking paper weight, or put it in my bookshelf as part of my library. Sorry!

    Was told that 8TB was too much storage. The hard drive would dies before I ever used that much storage. Am returning for 2TB - 4TB external hard drive.
