Every time I plug it in, my PC starts having multiple issues- something to do with the USB 3.0 configuration

Wasted my time.

WD is a well-known long-time brand and has held up to it's reputation over the years.

Works every time

It will waste your time and your money (and may even damage your hardware).UPDATE:

my first reformatting attempts failed several times over

WD would rather have all their customers waste more time by reaching out to Microsoft rather than finding a solution on their own.

This particular drive has failed several times and I have to rewrite over it from the beginning with Time Machine Backup

Iv'e WASTED TOO much time on this

WHy send me the one that caused me so much anguish and lost time and data?

This particular drive died recently (first time I've ever had a WD drive die, and I own 9 3 TB drives)

no problems there, but every time my computer goes to sleep the drive disconnects itself and I get a pop-up to run RAID software which I can't because it doesn't see my drive anymore

they just sat there and each time, they both stopped working.

Long time WD fan, no issues, supplied software is pretty nice for auto backups.

I used this item one time and it failed.

I've had this drive running my Time Machine backups for about 8 months, and it's been working great the entire time.

This time I could not blame bad sectors, so I soldiered on for months, working with WD and going through their check list of possibilities, as well as looking at all sorts of other "solutions" suggested by various online communities.

Improves game loading time over the Xboxes internal hard drive

Both times the damage was so serious that virtually no data could be recovered by means of professional data recovery software.

The drive wasn't used many times, but will no longer work

I bought the six T which is supposed to hold my life's worth of pics and
