Western Digital WDG1U4000 Review
Western Digital WDG1U4000 My Book Essential Edition 400 GB External Hard Drive USB 2.0 Review from Tathagata Saha. pretty bad product, I used this drive for a year, it started to give strange clicking noise after using it for 3+ months. I called in the WD support and they informed that it is normal. Now as it just completed 1 year of life, it just died one day. I called up WD support and informed them and they told the drive has gone out of service as it is just over a year and will change per incident I raise to them. Then I took it to Geek squad in Best Buy and asked them to help, they tried but the drive was dead and requires something around $2K for a third party data recovery, which may or may not be possible depending on the internal condition of the magnetic discs. I lost all files, photos and videos. It is now junk for me.
