Great. I’ve just returned a WD drive to Amazon after it arrived crushed in a torn-open paper bag.
The replacement arrived also in a paper bag and went straight back, this time for a refund.
I guess I should have kept that one and hoped for the best.
Good alternatives? I’ve only recently been enlightened on how profoundly sh__ty SSD is for long-term storage and I have a whole lot of images my parents took traveling the last few years of their lives.
- literalAardvark 8mo agoI'm sure Amazon isn't the only shop that delivers to your area
- jccc 8mo agoThe premise of this news is that prices are going to climb and availability is going to drop. And I’m not keen on having anyone ship me one of these anymore. Walmart sells what appears to be an older version of the drive and I might have to cross my fingers and just get one of those.
