    I purchased this HDD after consulting you associate. I was attempting to connect this HDD to my cable company's Alpha hub. This Hdd couldn't be recognized as it had to be a sata HDD. I contacted Western Digital's customer support which was absolutely useless, so I had to return the HDD

    I couldn't get it to work with windows 10. Spent over 8 hours on the phone with Microsoft and Western Digital. Both companies blamed the other. New laptop and new external hard drive that can't work together...very disappointed. Returned for refund.
