Dec 2017

Because the first drive I bought from them failed within a couple of months. Since then, I have only purchased Seagate. I did have some trouble with a drive that was three or four years old when I got a new PC. Other than that, they've given me no trouble at all.

I can't say that Western Digital is bad. It's been years, and it was just one drive. But it did change my mind about what drive to buy.

Hope this helps
