TUMS Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I used to use blacks, but all of my current desktops (mine, wife's, and a guest bedroom spare) have SSDs => 1TB units in wife's and mine, 500GB in the spare. I also have several larger data drives in these systems -- between 3TB and 8TB drives. These 5tb wd black drives are going in my main work machine. I need large, fast drives for my typical work with Adobe ps, adobe pp. Quote Link to comment
kubed_zero Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Anyone know how to do a warranty claim? I have a 6TB version and it's clicking on me, so I think I need to send it in for repair. Outside the Amazon warranty, and I couldn't find any documentation on Marshal themselves. Quote Link to comment

I'd copy all of the data off that drive NOW and get a replacement for it from a reputable manufacturer. I don't think you're going to get any help via the warranty -- Marshall is on the list of "defunct hard disk manufacturers" and there's no follow-up information on them. i.e. they apparently simply shut down -- weren't sold/acquired/etc. Quote Link to comment

Shame, I was hoping to make something of it! Oh well. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment
SSD Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Often a disk like this can be loaded with data to be used as a backup. Put it in the the computer, load it with data, run a data verification, and then pull it out, sit it on a shelf, safety deposit box, friend/family member's house, etc. It may not be perfect, but if you have data loss, there is a good chance that the disk would be able to cough up the data you put on it, despite clicking. It is far better than nothing!! Quote Link to comment
