      Hello JKayy, We're sorry to hear that the drive did not meet your expectations. That's certainly not the experience we aim for. We understand how frustrating that can be. We would like the chance to make it right. Please reach out to our support team by opening a ticket at (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb) so we can look into it and explore a possible replacement (if needed) or a solution for you. Thank you for your patience. WDConnections

    Works great. Running out of space to backup photos and videos. This was the perfect external HD. I plug them in to back up and unplug them afterwards. This is the best way to extend their life. Haven't had any issues with any of my external HDs because of this. If you keep them plugged in all the time, you run the chance of shortening their lifespan.

    So far it is doing what it is supposed to do, saving data. No complaints. Will review more if it has problems. Couldn't have been simpler.
