Western Digital 4TB WD Blue 3.5" SATA 6 Gb/s PC Hard Drive

Rs 14,999 paid, but received a defective product. It started clicking when plugged into my desktop on Day-0. It's called "click of death" when HDD has a mechanical failure. It was dead on arrival. Amazon refused to refund or replace as it does not qualify for returns. I tried explaining that the HDD is defective, but to no avail. Rs, 15,000 just gone; or so I thought. Now, went to the Western Digital Service center for warranty coverage. They said I will get it back in 7-10 days. One day full wasted travelling to the service center. After 10 days, I plan to go for holidays. It is a total mess. The product was received without any visible damage to the package. Imagine Amazon and WD colluding to get rid of defective product this way. Looking at reviews, I am not the first one to have received a defective HDD. See the video of the click of death sound. Its risky to buy non-returnable products from Amazon. Customer now has to run around, and at the en,d I will get a re-furbhished product.

I purchased the Western Digital 4TB WD Blue HDD (WD40EZAX), but unfortunately the unit I received was defective. When this HDD is connected to my PC, the system does not boot and hangs during startup. I tested it thoroughly: Changed SATA data cables Changed SATA power cables Used a branded 550W Cooler Master PSU Correct BIOS boot priority The PC works perfectly as soon as the HDD is disconnected, which clearly confirms the HDD is faulty. Very disappointed, as WD is usually reliable. I have now initiated warranty replacement (RMA). Pros: Genuine product Good packaging Cons: Defective unit out of the box Causes system boot failure I recommend buyers to test the drive immediately after delivery so replacement can be done within the Amazon window.

The seller did not package the hard disk properly. They only kept the hard disk inside a cardboard box without proper bubble wrap. Since the day I bought the hard disk, it was making a grinding noise. After one year, it is no longer functioning properly.

I received it on 18 July they used very big box no bubble rap or anything to protect it only some cardboard strains 😑 i was very afraid it might have damaged but disk worked well i read reviews that it disconnects sometimes i will update if i get any issue disk read speed is around 290mbps and 254mbps write speed in crystal disk which is good for hard disk i have only one issue the packaging of it only otherwise if i get any issues i will ipdate

I bought the Western Digital 4TB WD Blue hard drive from Amazon on EMI because it was too expensive to pay all at once, and I had saved my money just to finally afford it. I stored a lot of important information on it, and within just 15 days it completely stopped working — now it’s totally kaput. For such an expensive product, this was extremely disappointing. I feel like my hard-earned money was wasted, and now I’m stuck dealing with the whole replacement or refund process, and on top of that, I still have to keep paying the EMI for nothing.

It was not detected as soon as I connected to the system, Amazon customer service is too rude to address the issue and giving various reasons to deny the replace / return, and finally they denied the return and told to go with it as their team has confirmed that it was good when sent.

it was just sent in a paper bag. no protection at all inside. most probably damaged while in transit as it was not detected. tested in 3 working systems which wont even boot to bios when connected to this. Dead on arrival. hard disks should come in a box with secure foam or hard plastic around it. not with a piece of paper. ridiculous. Edit- replaced promptly by seller. it worked initially on first boot only to fail on second time switching on pc. but all other 3.5 HDD are working on system except this. looks like there is some serious defect in these wd40ezax builds. lost all trust in western digital which was my first choice. so many regrets buying it. when it worked first time I should have monitored it. but i stored some files not expecting it to fail on next boot and i am scared to return. eventually i will.

The hard disk was sent with no protective packaging. Received a dead hard disk. Does not detect, with no spinning sound.
