I own many WD digital drives 18? Very few have failed over a 20 year period. Many of the originals are still working. I always double back up data

Nice

You can open it and pull the hard drive out with bare hands, 2 screws holding the sata converter board. Inside is a WD White label drive. You can put another drive in the enclosure only if you flash the sata to usb board firmware. Short circuit the winbond chip on pins 1 and 2 (1 marked with a dot) while powering it on to get into flash mode, there is a flash tool and firmware on the internet. You can actually edit the firmware with a hex editor and change the manufacturer, product name, ids etc, good fun. It's using a JMicron chip.

This HD is great because I can keep all my family photos/videos on it without having to keep track of multiple drives. I then back it all up with Backblaze to be extra safe.

Works well

I bought two of these drives early this year, but didn't install them until June. Both installed very easily and have worked without problem as back-up external drives. They get a fair bit of use because I'm adding to and retrieving files from the drives on a daily basis.

5 months and it's dead.

Woke up one day and drive is totally dead. Will not mount. Ran through every possible solution online. No luck. Twenty years of buying drives - worst product every used. WARNING: AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Seriously. Horrible.
