wanderer 7/12/2012 5:38:52 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Simply Put... Pros: Simply Put... There are none... Cons: Simply Put... Shame on Western Digital... Western Digital has lost control of its' quality standards so much so that it is hurting not only the Western Digital brand but also the companies/stores that sell/offer W D products... This particular product is the one of the worst if not the worst product W D has ever offered... The question for W D is why offer something sub-standard just to sell product... and did W D ever think about the negative reaction/reflection it places on companies/stores like New-egg who stress quality and rely on the manufacturer to deliver exactly that... 0 out of 9 people found this review helpful.
