I'VE BEEN USING THESE FOR 12 YEARS AND THOUGH THEY ARE NOT PERFECT, THEY'RE THE BEST AROUND. THIS 4GB IS FAST AT WRITING, 7.5GB IN 1 MINUTE, OR ABOUT 125MBYTES/SEC AS I JUST MEASURED WITH A STOPWATCH ON USB3. OF THE 16 DRIVES I BOUGHT, I HAVE HAD 2 WD MYBOOOK DRIVES FAIL OVER THE 12 YEARS, BOTH 9-10 YEARS AGO (WHEN THEY WERE CHANGING THE DESIGN EVERY FEW MONTHS). THE ELECTRONICS IN THE BOX FAILED, NOT THE HARD DISKS, SO I WAS ABLE TO SLAP IT IN AN IDENTICAL MODEL AND RECOVER. WORD TO THE WISE: IF THE DATA IS CRITICAL, BACK IT UP TWICE BETWEEN 2 DRIVES, THESE ARE SO CHEAP ITS WORTH IT FOR THE PEACE OF MIND. AND REMEMBER THE MARKETING SAYS 4TB, BUT THE REALITY OF BINARY LOGIC YIELDS 3.63TB FORMATTED SPACE ON THIS DRIVE!
I would recommend this to a friend!

If this hard drive fails, can I recover the data stored?

My WD external hard drive failed. How do I recover the data stored?
BILL, I'VE HAD 2 WD MYBOOKS FAIL ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. I BUY SO MANY THAT I TOOK THE HARD DISK OUT OF THE BUM CASE AND PUT IT IN A WORKING ONE AND RECOVERED THE DATA. BOTH FAILURES WERE OF THE BOX, NOT THE DISKS. IF DATA IS CRITICAL, BACK IT UP BETWEEN TWO MYBOOKS, THEY'RE CHEAP!
