GBIf only there was a 0* option. If only there was a 0* option. I wouldn't recommend My passport to my worst competitor. Started eighteen moths ago, bought a My passport to back up my account and work. Failed out of the blue had to get the data recovered at my own expense. Thinking that may be just a one off bought a better My passport six months later déjà vu. So then bought another that I believed to have a digital back up, but no and six months down the line pop goes the hard-drive spent three days trying to get the damn thing to work then three hours going around and around in circles with their customer support chat answering the same questions over and over.

GBTerrible company Terrible company, for a tech business web site is a nightmare. Previously used so had a log in, yet would not work, kept flashing up add as business customer (I am not) had to leave site to get in again, had to do password reset, they had sent a discount voucher code if you confirm your email, that failed. Eventually got the code, found the hard drives I wanted added the code price went UP so the 10% could be discounted making the cost higher than it started at. Had to clear web site to return again to add items, and but so many error messages, Proxy error etc eventually got my order done, went to leave a review and saw how many other bad reviews, clearly this company have no interest in customer service or dealing with issues, will not use them again, if my eq arrives!!

AUI bought 2x new 10TB NAS HDD I bought 2x new 10TB NAS HDD. Tried installing in a Synology NAS enclosure. Something went wrong - was it Synology or WD or User fault?? Sent back under warranty to WD in Australia with crossed fingers. Just received 2x NEW HDD replacements. Friggin' amazing. Blown away by how fast and replacement policy. This is how HiTech companies should treat their customers :) Ill buy more in future knowing even though I'm not a fully qualified techno, I can get backup from these guys.

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!

IDI 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.
