We started using Western products for business in the late 1980's and had very few quality issues. Later in retirement we continued to use Western external hard drives as backup to our computer drives. In the last decade we began using the external hard drive for all things and no longer relied on the computer hard drive to backup of personal files. We have had only one Western drive unexplained failure some years ago so starting backing up on two or more drives. We still have that drive and when testes after sitting for more than five years it starting operating as if nothing was wrong. Unfortunately it did not last and when shut down would never boot up again. So we still trust in their product after many decades. However we also suggest you backup the backup.

Been using the 4TB My Book for years but capacity was getting low. Checked and saw the cost of an 8TB My Book was less than the 4TB I bought five years ago.
I would recommend this to a friend!
