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!

Terrible 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 !!

My cloud drive went dead 5days before… My cloud drive went dead 5days before warranty runs out, how convenient. But managed to get a replacement via WDC wesbite and return the faulty drive. The only issue is that I selected Advance Replacement but WDC website does not seems to work in taking credit card payment information. Ended up calling their customer service and took another hour to process it over the phone. All in all, a good support but they need to work on their website, to a workable status.

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.
