Another WD Passport Ultra 2TB not mounting in 10.9

*ugh* 

“Have you tried reformatting the drive to an inferior file system with major limitations?”

Formatting is not an option. FORMATTING IS NOT AN OPTION.

If someone from WD or Apple would say “Yes, there is a blatant problem with 10.9 and exfat, don’t use it!” (backed up by a link) I would feel a bit relieved. That would put the blame on Apple and it would take the hatred I feel for WD away.

And if there is a major problem with 10.9 and exfat why wasn’t this explained to me in my support emails? 

Looks like I am going to have to dump money into a second external drive to get everything off of this. Right now I can’t EVER see myslef buying another WD drive. This can NEVER happen again and since nobody has a reason for it… I am blaming WD for this problem.

I use this drive for my work and I can NEVER have another OOPS moment like this happen again when I am in the field.

and… as I stated above it’s plugged direclty into my macbook.

Thanks for the “support” WD…
