Question WD not reliable?

[saarxee]

I have WD Elements for few years and the drive sometimes works and sometimes not.. and dont recognized with the computer..
I see some good deals at amazon like WD Book 4TB for only 65$ but I dont know if WD was a reliable company.. and I read some bad reviews on amazon..

What do you think? My drive was bad?

I search for new drive with higher capacity so I ask...

Yes external

you could use something like this https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?d=exter...&isNodeId=1&Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH then put the hdd you want in so you wont be restricted if hdd fail .

4 TB for $65?

Impressive! They are likely variations of the basic Red drive with a white label on it, stuffed into an enclose for sale...

At that price, I'd buy three of them!

The only ones I see at $65 are used ones...
