Customer Review: DON’T STORE ANYTHING VALUABLE
I bought a WD drive and it failed after 12 months of light use. WD folks told me it must’ve been something I did. I was backed up, but lost a lot of irreplaceable baby pictures. They wouldn’t do anything, as it was after a year. Buy a Hitachi hard drive, these are total junk and could cause you the same heartache they caused me.
Customer Review: Software Missing, Box missing
The product description says, ” Data Lifeguard Tools is a set of software utilities that work in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard features to make hard drive installation, drive management diagnostics, and repair simple and worry-free.” However, the drive arrived in a plain box with xeroxed instructions and without any software. The instruction pages were jumbled in the wrong order, with some pages upside down. The OEM box was nowhere to be seen. What makes this “caviar” is left to your imaginaton. It should be labelled the “catfish” edition. Needless to say, I am returning it. Buy Here
