I have room to store stuff!!

I really like the design of this unit it sits flat and for what I use it for it's fast enough for me. I got a real good price. It's a joy to have so I don't load up my hard drive on my computer.

Ridiculously, Will Fail on you three months in

Bought two of 18TB back in August 2023, one failed on me in the beginning of October 2023. Called the customer service and see what they can do. Did every protocol, and concluded that it's dead and need to be replace. They told me to send it to their third party data recovery, (which is not free at all), and they said it has a limited warranty that doesn't include a free data recovery. So I decided to start asking for their manager and told them that this is their fault that their product failed on me and they need to either give me a free data recovery and a new free hard drive, because it wasn't my fault two months in and it failed on me. They did send me an apology and told me that this is a one time use. and will not be able to use on my second drive if it do failed.

Ridiculously Noise and Slow!

Avoid this drive for anything other than back up work. The drive is very noisy, and very slow. This drive is constantly running and I have never had a drive make so much noise. This would be fine to use as a back up but I am going to be replacing this drive with another brand. Western Digital has taken what was a great brand G-Drive and ruined the value. I will not purchase another G-Drive.

Two drives failed within a week. These don't work.

Ordered two drives, the first one wouldn't even mount or be read, and we tried 7 different Macs The second drive failed after 4 days of use. About 300gbs was loaded onto it and the drive was probably used for a total of 6 hours. Terrible. Don't phase out the old type of drive until these are rock solid.

NOT RELIABLE. TWO 18TB FAILED. WHERE'S MY DATA?

I paid $1500 for three drives; 1 data, two backups. BOTH BACKUPS FAILED!

FAILED AND CANT CONNECT ANYMORE

I bought the 22TB drive to transfer all my files from several different hard drives and SSDs as a backup. 4 days after backing almost everything up (it had 6TB left), it caused my imac to continuously restart. Plugged it into my macbook and the same thing happened so I know it's the drive. Glad I didn't get this to be my main backup drive. I'm returning this but now I have tons of files on this thing that I can't even erase before returning it. Hopefully no one can access that info because it's an identity theft risk.

Can't Trust It

I have over 250tb of G Drives. My video production company runs on them. This refresh is not a welcome update. This is the first WD drive I've had that failed and their warranty replacement process is a joke. So now they have my drive, my $650, and are coming up with every excuse to delay sending me a new one. G Drive was an industry trusted brand and I'm afraid San Disk Extreme ruined it. They need to get their act together if they want to keep working with professionals but for now I'm worried and double backing up everything in case another one of these fails.
