    To be fair, I've had a few WD lemons out of a dozen or so. For whatever reason, the 2TB ones are the worst. But for the price, all these HDDs are great

    This is my 2nd external HD and I can't believe how much faster it is than my 15 yr old one. So far so good!

    To tell you the truth I haven't done a lot with this hard drive so far. I did back up my music and everything went smoothly. I'm looking forward to filling this hard drive!

    More Broken than a McDonald's Ice Cream Machine

    I bought two of these drives within the last year or so, and one that was 10 months old just had sectors fail a few days ago (on a Friday for reference), and then another one that was about 14 months old had a catastrophic sector failure tonight (lowering hard drive health from 100% to 66.5%, measurements courtesy of DriveDx). I have already been in contact with WD Support about the first one, but they're about useless when it comes to helping customers, as they'd rather give you the choice to either cough up the hard disk space to back it up to a drive you own yourself, or pay them $25 to get a replacement drive while in possession of your original drive, all while paying shipping either way. Prior to this, I had a SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD fail on me, and they took months to rectify that situation so it'll be interesting to see what WD Support does here. All i know is that it's no wonder why they had a class action lawsuit filed against them in August for their faulty products. It's sad because they used to be a good company and I've been using their drives for almost a decade now, I still have my first one and it's still in working order all these years later. So it is with that I say that it is unacceptable a drive of theirs can't even make it more than a year before dying, and that I could never recommend this product to a friend. Heck, I could never even recommend it to my worst enemy. My advice: save up your money and buy a LaCie or Samsung drive, they'll actually last and aren't much more than WD charges you for their terrible product.

    Once I figured out how to load thee drive onto my computer (directions were lacking and it isn't just a plug and play), the drive has run smoothly.
