Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

All the hard drives I own are Sandisk and WD. I have Windows installed on a SanDisk SSD and Steam on another SanDisk SSD. My WD 4TB Blue HDD and WD 4TB Elements Portable HD are for back ups and both are 5 years old now. I haven't had any issues. Some of the Verge commentors do mention it could be a MacOS thing.

That's why you don't trust refurbished media.

Don't trust media, period.

It's extremely hard to make, but I was hoping there's a review website with 100% real user review so this kind of issue can be discovered more easily
