GBJust purchased WD Passport Ultra and… Just purchased WD Passport Ultra and discovered there is no UK telephone support. The only number provided is a premium rate 00800 number. If I try to use live chat, after going through various clicks, confirmation of model, personal details, typing out the query etc etc etc.... only to discover their chat support is closed and only operates US hours and is only for US customers! Boxed and returned to Amazon !! Waste of time!

GBYou will lose you data if you buy WD products! Do yourself a favor and never buy anything from this company. WD's programming error left their storage drives vulnerable to hacking and they only allowed requests for data recovery for one month! And they are offering a rebate so we can buy more of their vulnerable products and lose more data. What a joke! Shame on them for not standing behind their products.

GBTerrible technical support for their WD… Terrible technical support for their WD ReadyView surveillance system. They refuse to fix a confirmed (by level II techs) problem with IOS application / NVR software which renders the system useless. Alert alarms just quit working after a few hours and the entire IOS app must be deleted and reinstalled to get them working again (but for just a short time. Told me to return the unit even though there is no hardware problem !!

GBWD OS5 more like OS0 Been happy using WD mycloud products for years, unfortunately now have a paperweight due to OS5 firmware update, cannot go back, and has been indexing everything for over two weeks now. running at max CPU,RAM. Drive no longer responsive, cannot access anything remotely or locally. WD only answer is to turn off indexing. This stops cloud access! Device is therefore no longer working as advertised. Why everything has to be indexed is beyond me. Files folders worked perfectly well. Someone needs to be fired at WD for this. I will never buy WD again and recommend everyone keeps well clear of these cowboys.

GBI agree with previous BAD reviews of… I agree with previous BAD reviews of terrible service on technical support. I have an old WD external hard drive which now seems to be 'dead' - all I wanted to know was if/where/ I could get it looked at to see if possible to retrieve the data. First call - phone went dead after speaking to an agent for 1 minute; 2nd and third calls - after going through the rigmarole of the voicemails and pressing '1''2' etc, the line went dead. On account of this,I shall never buy their products again.
