    Lots of bad press on these. Many failures and lost data reported in the Amazon reviews, from a few days old to many months. I wouldn't trust it.

    hmm, 26 reviews and only 5 give a star 1 and 3 star 2. Should not be taht bad, besides you are buying from Amazon and WD support is always handy.
    The good reviews (mayority) are very good.

    Wouldn't touch WD if they were the last drives left on earth. My personal experience is that they are unreliable and I have seen similar failures at work

  • I just thought I'd let everyone know that I got an email from ebuyer today . The drive is £5.52 cheaper there if you use the free delivery option.
