    Won't touch these will a barge pole! Bought a 2TB one 8 months ago, was faulty, zero response from WD despite numerous emails. Eventually got a response when I gave them 14 days notice before small claims court action, the day before the 14 days expired, asking me to send it back (no offer of postage payment etc) for a replacement. Of course I'll be going ahead with the small claims.

    Great until they decide to no longer support, leaving you with a paperweight unless you can repurpose into a newer NAS

    This. Would never touch a WD NAS ever again.

    I'd personally avoid recertified WD stuff. My MyBook SMART status showed increasing number of bad unrecoverable sectors after 2 years of non-frequent use. Hard Drive eventually stopped copying over data correctly and became useless. Thankfully was able to recover to a backup drive.

    Ovs it's just down to chance, but I think I've had 4/5 recertified drives now and never had an issue over the years.

    In case you are browsing the WD website for other deals and you set your eyes on the cloud version, read the warning (seems like they don't want to fight those vulnerabilities anymore):

    Which one is generally the better or more reliable from the two? I also maybe using it to connect to a smart TV to watch movies off. Thanks for anyone that knows.

    Where do all these failed drives come from
    Dave859's avatar
    Dave859
    Likely they are just new drives, hard to believe they have a endless supply of failed returned drives. They don't give a long warranty with them so it's probably more profitable selling new stock as reconditioned. (edited)

    Anyone know if they are 7200rpm? And if they can be connected internally to a desktop?

    Due to the varying comments on here I think I will only buy a single drive and learn from my own experiences

    Don't waste your time - check Trustpilot for their reviews - their customer support is non-existent.

    Question: if bought only for storing PC games as external via USB for a Legion,will games play normally as if they were installed on an internal hdd or ssd? Obviously ssd are better but since I'm not yet a PC gamer, I need to clarify my thoughts and options..thanks
