minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 month agoWhy I have not heard of them being a risky company to buy from, or am I misinformed?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•1 month 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-square@tylerlink1•1 month agoTheir most recent products have shown very high failure rates and they refuse to acknowledge the problem.
minus-squareAlphane MoonOPMlinkfedilink4•1 month agoFor HDDs, they seem to have a better reputation than Seagate. That being said, I usually buy their Gold “enterprise class” HDD drives.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoYeah, was gonna say. Waiting for Samsung or SanDisk to do it. WD is quite the gamble.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•1 month agoI didn’t know that. Their products are not at the same quality tho, or at least don’t seem to perform the same.
minus-square@tylerlink1•1 month agoThey own sandisk and the sandisk fiasco is what I’m partly referring to. SanDisk is terrible.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 month agoOh damn, totally missed all this going down. Been reading up on a bit now, such a shame. :/
Never touching another WD product with a ten foot pole.

WD owns SanDisk and has for some time.
