Does anyone have experience with Western Digital Elements drives?
I purchased a 400 gb Elements USB drive earlier this year and saying I was disappointed is a major understatement. It very quickly turned into a paperweight because there were too many surface errors for a scanning program to even run. The model of the drive shown by WD's analytical software does not match the model on the case, nor do the serial numbers agree. I have seriously wondered if this is a rebuilt unit sold as new. Either way, it's junk and totally unusable within 5 months.
Does anyone else have a similar experience?
It came from Staples.
