Are Western Digital drives trustworthy these days. If I want to buy a pretty big non-flash hard drive for "backup and throw in a drawer" purposes, is this a good choice

@mcc with the addendum that sometimes people sell fakes on Amazon (more of a problem with flash media afaik), yeah, I'd trust them
(this is a general problem with storage on Amazon, not with WD in particular)
@mcc If the seller is Amazon, no, you should be fine.
If Amazon is just shipping from their warehouse, vendors have managed to get fakes in there in the past.
@ratsnakegames @mcc it's an extra $20 but it might be worth buying it directly from WD
