The 1TB WD My Passport is such a piece of junk

I bought a 1TB WD My Passport a YEAR ago for my MAC. I’ve been using it on Maverick and it was super easy. I don’t use my computer a ton, so I only back up every few months. I tried a few times the past few days and this thing is done. I can hear the drive in it click every 5 seconds. It’s never done that before. My Mac won’t backup to it. It just keeps trying to connect to no avail. After reading several entries on here, i can tell I’m not the only one. 

I just keep it sitting on my desk. It’s not like it’s been tossed around or abused. I don’t know who’s in charge of quality control at WD, but yeesh, time to take these passports back to development and think about how you’re basically stealing $70 from people. It’s unreal how pissed off I am about WASTING my money.

This is most unfortunate, however, if it has only been a year then your hard drive should still be covered under warranty and eligible for a free replacement. Please visit the following link for additional information:
