Bad Hard Drive.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Hard Drive went dead the next day following purchase. It froze asking for the password, and no matter how many times you put it, the drive never gave way. The worst part was to remove the software of the hard drive from the computer. A total nightmare. Stay away from it. Go Seagate.

4T Passport
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for an IMac. It requires a software download and did not function as I thought it would. Returned it and purchased a more expensive smaller capacity WD Ext HD . It works perfectly.

Failed drive after 10 months
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used Western Digital hard drives for the last 5 years and have never had an issue until I bought this one. I bought this hard drive back in September 2021. This past weekend after less than a year, the hard drive stopped booting up. I now have to send in the hard drive to a data recovery center, who quoted me up to $3900. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more to get a solid state drive. If you do get this drive, back it up to another location at least weekly.
