In Reply to: 8 TB hard drives coming posted by LWR on August 27, 2014 at 09:08:23:
WD makes drives for others to incorporate into their products.Its not the drives per se; its their branded stand alone units that have/had interfacing trouble with Apple's OSX (the Mavericks version). WD units have their own software as go-between, whereas other makers do not. The glitch-on-record wiped out whole drive's data.
I lost years of digital images, which I was eventually able to retrieve most of. If I was a company, my lawyers would still be trying to make me rich via lawsuit.
With Apple about to unveil their next OS version, I advise buying another brand for the first year or so after release.
