Regular backup with 1TB data is impossible, only buying +1 HDD 1TB, i don’t have so much money to spend on +1 1TB HDD, cause they are so expensive now!
When i buyed this Caviar green 1TB hdd, i expected it will work at least 2-3 years, cause that’s usually warranty period 3 years, but i get, after 1 year it stoped to work! I never buy WD hdds in future, i had similary expirience with previous WD HDD 320GB, same problems with bad sectors.
Even this 1TB i didn’t use for usually things like playing games, surfing, work, etc. i used it just for storage, and it wasn’t used often! But this is terrible hdd!
Normally that i contacted firstly WD support, they don’t have chat option, like other serious companies, for cases like my, urgent situation, then i wrote them mail, and what i get, just ignoring my mail sent on january 16-17, waiting 3-4 days, event they wrote “1 business day” usually waiting, but not, i wait much more! I’m not in situation to wait!
And then i tried in forum to write, normally i don’t expect solution from forum, normally that i know what’s forum, not necessary explanation by wd’s mod, i know here aren’t wd specialist, to tell me solution, it was just my try to solve my big problem…
Normally that i called retail shop, where i bought this thrash of HDD, and what i get, just uncessary loosing time and talking like “we need to send hdd to service, and waiting 7-10 days” bla bla usually much more waiting, and they didn’t offer me replacment HDD to save my data in meantime, whil i wait for “analyzing” HDD in service, even i analyzed with WD diagnostic tool, and other professional tools SPINRITE, SENTINTEL, HDD guru tools, etc. but always same results- bad sectors with no recovery option, S.M.A.R.T notified many errors, and error 08 says this disk has to be replaced, but no solution by WD official distributor here, and to send me some replacment HDD to save my data…
Really i’m disapointed with WD relates to their customer, and don’t care about their customers, and don’t control official distributor, and to check their relates to customers, and gives license to companies who aren’t serious to be their distributor!
At the end, i never recommend to my business partners, friends, and other people to buy WD HDD, specially out of EU and USA, where they don’t have official representative, just some bad distributors, to buy WD HDDS, cause supporst is horrible!
However thank you!
Greetzz!
