minus-squareaPirate@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoWhy I have not heard of them being a risky company to buy from, or am I misinformed?
minus-squareThatuserguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoYeah same. I have plenty of WD Black HDDs and SSD’s and never once had issues with any of them. Am I out of the loop?
minus-squaretylerlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoTheir most recent products have shown very high failure rates and they refuse to acknowledge the problem.
minus-squareAlphane Moon@lemmy.worldOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoFor HDDs, they seem to have a better reputation than Seagate. That being said, I usually buy their Gold “enterprise class” HDD drives.
minus-squarePotatisen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·5 months agoYeah, was gonna say. Waiting for Samsung or SanDisk to do it. WD is quite the gamble.
minus-squareseaQueue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·5 months agoWD owns SanDisk and has for some time.

minus-squaretylerlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 months agoThey own sandisk and the sandisk fiasco is what I’m partly referring to. SanDisk is terrible.

How so?
