Don't order direct I've used WD hard drives for years, without a problem, however, I had never purchased directly from them before. I never will again. Ordered 2 weeks ago. Courier has advised the item was damaged in transit. WD have been uncontactable to sort this out, either by refunding me, or by sending another. Disappointing. I personally will not be ordering directly again. I wouldn't have done in the first place if I'd have found the reviews on this page!

You 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.

As a business owner I cannot comprehend… As a business owner I cannot comprehend how a backup product can be so unreliable. We've bought one after the other of WD thinking it was our mistakes only to realize these are just garbage products. Don't bother spending money on these, or you'll be writing a review warning others.

I 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.

I wonder why WD got such a low rating… I wonder why WD got such a low rating on TrustPilot. WD is actually reasonably priced for HDD. I bought one 8 TB rig and it has lasted me for 8 years. Still in good condition but gets heated quite easily.
