Customer reviews
First one I opened was Dead On Arrival. Unreliable for a small business.
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019
I run a small business with a group of friends. We ordered 18 of these WD 10TB Elements External drives so we can each have additional storage to our work computers. The reason for these specific drives is because they were reviewed as easy to set up and use and have high reliability.They arrived in 6 packages, each with 3. I opened the first package to begin testing them before taking them all to the workplace. I connected it to power, plugged in the USB drive, and pressed the power button. Nothing. Nothing happened. I don't have the best technological computer skills so I wasn't able to troubleshoot what was wrong with it nor did I want to do anything that may hurt my chances of a return.I was told these drives were very reliable and I get one dead on arrival. This is very disappointing. I would not feel safe using these at work or giving them to my editors to store precious photos and video footage. There was nothing to indicate that the drive had been damaged during shipping. That just means that WD put a faulty drive in there and didn't do enough testing.It appears to me that these drives are actually used. I opened the other 5 boxes and this suspicion seems to have been confirmed. All 18 packages were repackaged by Amazon and sold as new. Please view the first image I upload to see this. It is clear to me that they do not care for their customers enough if they are willing to sell re-packaged old goods as new for full price.Luckily, Amazon has a generous return policy so I am returning all of these for a full refund. I don't even want to bother checking the other 17. I will take my business elsewhere and find a better product.
