  • "Warranty won't be honored!"

    Pros: large capacity

    Cons: failed after one year, company refuses to honor warranty.

    Summary: I bought this drive and was assured by WD that the warranty was 3 years even though the box listed only 1 year. The drive failed shortly after 1 year, and it took numerous emails and phone calls to even get a response from WD.

    The bottom line is that they are now claiming the drive is "out of warranty", and they refuse to do anything except offer to sell me a new drive.

    By all means, pay attention to the other members on this site when they say this drive fails, customer service sucks, and the warranty will not be honored.

    I got stuck with a $250 lemon.
