  • Data Recovery Will Cost You Over $1,000

    BUYER BEWARE: It's decent storage for the price, but if this drive fails on its own, someone knocks it off a shelf onto the ground, or etc. etc. WD has geniusly decided to use a proprietary internal connection system. This means YOU HAVE 0% CHANCE OF DATA RECOVERY unless you are willing to pay a lab, and I quote, $1,250 for them to get the data off because there are like 2 places in the country that have the ability to work on these drives. Had I known this, I absolutely never ever ever in a million years would have purchased this drive.
