WD MYPASSPORT 4tb - epic scale junk

I have a WD 4tb my passport external drive. Most of the time it’s not accessible. Yesterday when (by sheer random anomoly) I DID GAIN ACCESS, I removed the password using WD SOFTWARE IN HOPE OF GAINING ENOUGH TIME TO GET MY FILES OUT OF THIS DATA TRAP. NO LUCK! WINDOWS 10 SEES THE DRIVE BUT CANT access the drive. I don’t know about other WD products, but this one is a pure waste of time and money. All these work-around I see here should not be necessary ( and at least for me, dont work anyway). I’m sorry (really sorry) the PRODUCT is GARBAGE. It should preform as ADVERTISED. IT DOES NOT. and from what I see here, SIMILAR ISSUES RUN THE WD SPECTRUM. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I DID.

I usally have good things to say about my devices, But this one i agree hands down Blows!. I sold my 2tb passport ultra for this SLOW and degraded device. Even in Linux it spits out errors that the disk is damageed and needs scanned. Terrible…
