  • 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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
