    Everyone has at least one bad story about a brand, and that experience can colour a consumer’s view indefinitely. I had a faulty WD drive in the computer I got to start college in 1997 but didn’t realize it, instead learning to reinstall Windows every six weeks. I rarely chose WD thereafter.

      Everyone has a bad story about a brand for sure, not every brand takes a NAS quality, NAS branded drive they charge a premium for because it’s suitable for NAS and switches the underlying tech to something that’s fundamentally unsuitable for NAS applications. Then lies about it. Fuck WD.
