In Egypt....

I forget to say that the PC can't detect the HDD and the WD datalifeguard show empty data for model and serial ..etc

[mediaman]

what symptoms does the drive show? be more complete and maybe you'll get some good replies. Photos, the tools you have used, recordings etc.

Those drives are pieces of Sh111111t. Ask me how I know. (i have never managed to fix one

How do you know they are a piece of junk?

[mediaman]

???? you are on a hard drive recovery forum, dealing with people that see a lot of drives, and you ask that? They are junk.

And to make matters worse, WD now own Fujitsu and are the second largest HD manufacturer worldwide

WD and fujitsu both are crap on 3.5'' and both manufacturing together will make super crap .

it's just a way of speech: "ask me how I know" generally means that xxxx has happened to me several times, therefore I think yyyyy"


sorry

[magneto]

It's kool, I was thinking the same thing with all the WD issues everybodys talking about..
Is this type of info available from Consumer Reports or somewhere?
Reliability of HDD's?
