This Company steals your money

I didn't even get the hard drive. I was for some reason given a Seagate harddrive, that you could tell was used. I contacted support. They had me give all this information. Told me they would never send a competitors hard drive and said this one time they will give a refund if I returned the hard drive I received. I did just that. After 3 weeks of them having it they came back and told me they are denying the refund because I sent them the Seagate harddrive that i was given and told to send to them and not the WD Black hard drive that I never received. So I am now out over $200. Never got my hard drive and WD refused to even give a refund for it.

WD can't provide newly newly manufactured Drives

I ordered a hard drive and they sent me a drive that was almost 4 years old. They have sent me a replacement drive, but it was also four years old . It's been a month and I still don't have a currently manufactured drive. WD has now informed me that they cannot provide a hard drive that has been manufactured within the last few years. What a horrible experience of avoiding and not being able to get work done because WD can't provide currently manufactured Drives.

Faulty since original purchase

I've had this WD black 4tb for almost a year now. I've tried everything that I could to get this drive to work without taking it apart. On start up there is a persistent beeping in intervals. I am done trying to get to function at this point.

Too Hot

This is the hottest (temperature) hard drive I have ever used. I am a programmer for a fortune 500 company. I have dealt with thousands of hard drive, SSDs, and NVME. This is the hottest drive I ever dealt with. You cannot touch it. I have left the side off my just built own PC because I don't know if my cooling solution(s) can handle the extra calories of heat.

Ridiculous support

Ordered an 8tb hdd and was sent a 1t. After working with support they would only send me a refurbished 8tb as a replacement.

The Drive is Dead Jim!

It does not work and I contacted customer support but haven't heard from them. The bios recognizes it but it doesn't budge. There's not even a peep coming from it. This is the 6TB 128 cache. D.O.A., Jim! The review is based on the model 128 cache. The 256, worked wonderfully. I wonder if I received a refurbished model, it had no WD Black serious looking sticker on the outside of the foil wrap bag, just a plain oem style, no markings. Disappointed.

Great performance, lasts for years

Great drive. I've used WD Black HDDs for years and never had a problem with any of them. Just keep getting more as they get bigger and I'm never disappointed.

Good product

I've had this installed in my PC for only about a week, and the install process was easy. I'm using this as addational storage, so no OS install was required. The only thing I had to do was format the drive using Disk Management (under Windows Tools/Computer Management). I've never had a problem with WD bare internal drives and expect this one to be no different. So far, so good.

Good fortune to your order

Unfortunately, the drive arrived to me DOA. I was unable to receive a replacement drive. The online chat as friendly as they were, did not have a solution to my issue. In the end, I opted to return the drive for a refund. I hope WD can improve on catching these bad drives before shipping.
