Western Digital WDG1U2500 My Book Essential Edition 250 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
Just purchased this from Walmart. It was shrink wrapped, so I doubt it was a return. Opened the box to find that the packers put in the WRONG cord! It does not have a USB end and neither end fits into the hard drive . . . Taking this one back to the store and ordering a 500g seagate
the hard drive works great, but the plasticky construction makes it feel very cheap.
This drive has an extremely high failure rate. Mine functioned well for several hours and then– dead. What an overwhelming disappointment.
It worked all right for 2 days and then crushed my laptop ! My USB ports stopped working after that incident and never came back ! I dont really think that this was a coincidence.
I returned this product immediatly because 2 things:
1) there is no backup software came with the drive, which means I have to pay extra$$$ to get one or I have to manually drag and drop
2)No tech support, I emailed Western Digital and request for help, no reply at all.
