Dear Help4All

Before I ask for help I try the everything possible to avoid having to waste pressures time and efforts by underpaid and under appreciated support staff. Now if you want me to give KUDOS, give me answer that resolve my issue, since you are obviously WD Staff I would suggest that you start take customer issues serious and help those that have serious issues. I paid a bucket load of money for a piece of equipment that does not work, documentation that comes with the product could not even be designed and produced by a 3 year old who would do a way better job.

With regards to your telephonesupport? Why waste peoples time and money in phone calls, people who answer know nout and all they can do is give you a ticket number which is followed by block hole silence.

If you still want KUODS points get me somebody real that can solve my issue otherwise stop wasting my time.

Fix it or give me MY MONEY BACK and compensate me for wasting my time with Western Digital Products.

I am like that mosquito that in the room when you want to sleep. WD has upset me bigtime, now it is my turn.

Best wishes TL

While I understand where you’re coming from, I believe you are misunderstanding the very purpose of the WD Community, which is user-to-user interaction. Staff members may post once in a while, but Western Digital has official, direct support channels for addressing technical issues. Users should not expect constant, steady, and/or direct responses from WD Staff members while on the forum.

“Kudos” is on the signature of several Users of the Community regardless of association with Western Digital. It shows on all of posts of Users with such a signature, and it is up to you to decide if those posts are helpful to you. Kudos serve the purposes of allowing other future Users to know the a particular suggestion was helpful, and carries no additional benefit other than recognition within the WD Community.

If I was in your position, I would contact Western Digital support channels either by phone or E-mail (As recommended by Help4All) as you are experiencing a very specific situation. I am sure they will be more than glad to address your concerns and investigate the cause.

Regards,

Thanks

Sorry for your frustration.  I would have definitely tried Help4All’s recommendation of using the updated version of the utility.  Your account is no longer accessible.
