WD 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.

If 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.

I 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.

Unpatriotic, but drives work fine Honestly I'm pretty upset that they don't offer military discount but they seem to have student and senior discounts. Just seems unpatriotic. I'll check in with Seagate I guess. I only gave 2 stars because my hard drives I have now work well (6TB 7200 Pro). Though my WD ex cloud ultra seems to have fan issues after 6 months. Contacted support who asked that I update the firmware. Didn't work.

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 !!
