I've been a Western Digital user for many years. I've never had one of their HDD fail and I've owned more than forty of them between my home and small office.
I do replace drives that I use for backup on a regular basis (every 4-5 years based on usage) and that's why I purchased this drive. I'm old and perhaps a little old fashioned which is why I'm still using HDD for backup. I recently bought an SSD to upgrade the primary drive in one of my laptops.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I continue to use Western Digital/SanDisk anytime I need new or additional storage. I know HDDs and SSDs fail and at the risk of jinxing myself I've never had a failure with one of their drives.

SanDisk & Western Digital, in my opinion, are no brainer purchases. You buy them, put them to use and pretty much forget about them because they just work.

I've owned a MagicJack for ten plus years. I started out with the original product that plugged into a USB port. The only drawback with the original was that your computer had to stay on in order to make or receive calls. No big deal for me because I never turn off my desktop.
Almost two years ago I bought this product, the MagicJack-Go. Unlike the original the Go can be plugged into your router eliminating the need to keep your computer turned on.
Over the years I’ve had a couple of very minor glitches, the biggest of which was a problem installing on Windows 10 when it was first released. A quick chat with MagicJack resolved that issue in about fifteen minutes.
Bottom line, I wouldn’t be without a MagicJack. It’s a fantastic product.

As the headline suggests, this SSD is helping to revitalize a very old Dell Studio 1735 that is running Windows 10 Pro version 1909 with all updates and patches. The SSD took the place of a Western Digital 500 GB HDD. Boot time is obviously dramatically improved and I'm looking to keep this laptop going for at least another few years.
SanDisk, as usual, is kicking butt!

Bought it to store music for use in my car's audio system. Works just fine but that's what I expect from SanDisk and why I buy only Western Digital / SanDisk products for all my storage needs.

My USB drive shows "exFAT" in the file system box. It is a new drive with nothing on it as it was reformatted that I believe originally showed a FAT32 files system. I need it to be reset to FAT32. How can I do this?

To the best of my knowledge all USB Flash drives are originally formatted exFat by their manufacturer. This format provides you the most flexibility. For more specific information check out the following link.
