    Waited 15 minutes for curbside pickup, then went into the store, waited on line since the person doing the curbside had other responsibilities. Then I was treated rudely. I am not going to be back to Best Buy when I can get the same products at Target or Amazon

    Not a bad drive. Hate the case. No more rubber feet and color matched cable. Cheap! Make sure to download the latest security lock program to enable drive locking. Older program did not recognize drive. Ditto to unlocking and diagnostic program.

    Another WD DOA out of the box

    picked it for a customer, two hour round trip, the drive was DOA. I've seen a few WD usb drives, various customers purchased these from different retailers over the last year, come into my pc repair shop that have failed. I'd recommed Seagate or Crucial, or better an Enterprise class drive in a 3.5" emclosure. For Mac users, an EVO NVME or SSD is best for Time Machine, due to continuous writes (vs a HDD that endures mechanical wear). Unless you're using an Enterprise grade HDD, Always use a cloud back service as well. google: 3-2-1 backup plan.

      We're sorry to hear that the drive was DOA, and we understand how frustrating that must have been, especially after a long trip. We recommend returning the drive to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement. WDConnections
