Customer Review: garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
software stopped working within the first month; the drive refuses to be shut down with the front button (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't); fails to mount on my Mac (it did for about two months, but now it doesn't anymore). Customer Review: Bad
Summary: 1 Stars
One died at month 13, so I missed the 1 year warranty. Bought another and it died after 6 weeks. Not sure this one died, but my computer no longer recognizes it. Whatever. Customer Service was mediocre at best. Probably going with a Lacie Rugged. Those things work!Customer Review: Bought two, both died and lost my data -- no help from WD
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought two of these thinking WD was quality. I should have read some reviews, everyone's seems to be failing. When I contacted WD the five year warranty was suddenly a one year *limited* warranty and I was out-of-luck, plus my data was all lost.Customer Review: A Lesson Learned

I purchased one of these in May 2006, and 2 years, 2 months to the day it decided to just quit working, with no warning. Oh sure, I can sometimes see the folders on it, but they are now empty. I was going to give it 2 stars, because when it worked it was a handy little back-up drive - easy to trasfer between my desktop and laptop. But, because it had a relatively easy life - no daily use, just a few files added for storage maybe once every couple of weeks, and it bailed on me without notice, it should get 0 stars. The nice data recovery people tell me for $500 - $2100 they might be able to retrieve some of my data, but probably not all of it. Yeah, it used to looked cool on my desk, but no so much now. Customer Review: Destined to fail on you
Summary: 1 Stars
Horrible Drive had 2 fail on me in less than 6 months. Drive has no fan so it will fry itself and you will lose all your data. DO NOT TRUST THIS DRIVE!
