Review on πŸ“ WD My Book 4TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive - WDBBGB0040HBK-NESN by Ricardo Mercado

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Does not pass WD diagnostic tests immediately.

Received this afternoon. I've learned from bad experience that it's very important to test hard drives when you get them. I ran WD Diagnostics and it freezes at 10%. I then ran the WD Lifeguard quick test, which failed that test with a checkpoint=97 error and didn't complete the smart test. However, the intelligence test itself is fine. My computer was also restarted during these tests. I will be doing more testing and have contacted WD but it looks like this is coming back.
