Not very happy with WD support, was actually looking for info to figure out what happened with drive versus trying to get a replacement, but that seems all they are concerned about NOT DOING. Then on top of that. The two WD Black drives I just ordered and seller sent serial numbers without being asked. WD Support comes back that those serial numbers were meant for drives installed in systems, so WD provides no warranty. Likely that others fall into same conditions. Think if a company makes a product, they would stand behind it. Person seems nice, but would prefer a straight answer. You are screwed that our drive failed, and we don't provide any support.... Thanks for the info. Guess I'll create monthly images of all systems to be save. Pulled out a new 4TB Seagate regular drive I had sitting around, and will make image files of the 1TB disks on it. Than hope it continues with no problem.
