Just 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!

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.

I wanted to exchange a defect… I wanted to exchange a defect harddrive, I am waiting for a replacement since 4 months now, customer service is really bad as they told me they will send a replacement and keep on asking me for adresses, alternative adresses, which I provide, and then they again ask the same things.. Then after letting me know, they will send it soon, they found out, they dont have the model, of the harddrive, now again the adress-asking-process startet again,... not sure if I am talking to ChatBots or humans, but what i know now is: never ever again WD products!!!

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.

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.
