I have used WD drives for years and even went through their warranty service before with no issues. This may all change now. I shipped them a drive about 2 months ago and am still struggling to get a replacement for my home server. Looks like they have given EVERYTHING to AI and can’t even fulfill the warranty. Need to find a 8TB drive now myself as I can’t rely on them. This is not good. #WesternDigital #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #HomeServer
