||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have owned many external drives and currently have 4 Toshiba 4 TB drives. I purchased this WD 5 TB drive on a whim because BB had it on sale. I have used it as a backup drive for the last 17 months. It stopped working on 5/27/25 and now when you plug it in the system doesn't recognize the drive at all. Tried different cabling and wanted to format it but none of my computers recognize it. Thought about exercising the 3 year warranty but they are only going to replace the drive and at this point I will stick with my Toshiba's that the oldest is already 6 YO. I don't trust WD products, had a bad experience many years ago and obviously nothing has changed.
