I purchased it knowing fully well that these were SMR drives, but I did not expect 1 MB/sec both read/write speeds. This was transferring and reading large media files.

Any suggestions on what would be a good alternative to this? Big space, lower price that won't lose my files?
I can't spent too much because our household income is literally $0 and has been since he passed months ago. But I do need to be able to use my laptop and want to keep those files safe and not accidentally buy a Chinese knockoff or something that will break somehow. I usually buy from Amazon (never used eBay before),
Sorry, that was long! I've been finding out I talk a lot in this stage of grief (whatever it is these days). I'm like a crazy crack head these days with how much I talk/text (when not isolating).
. ..,,Anyway, I apologize and truly appreciate any suggestions you, or anyone willing to read all of this may have for me.
Thank you!
I wanted to add: I learned the hard way I had one single 4tb drive go out on me that had tons of videos and pictures of family trips. Never again.
This is more like having third party extended warranty on a product (except the extended warranty starts from day 1).
So, if you have a problem don't expect to do RMA process with WD. It will be same as making a claim on extended warranty from a third party insurer. Expect fighting with All State and then probably settling for a pro-rated money back.
I ordered these in the last deal and returned it as soon as I realized this.
At the volumes WD is selling these, I expect most of them will be unused. But from the reviews it appears these had a high rate of failures and so the warranty liability may have made them unprofitable for WD. So, they are clearing these out with limited liability.
Many manufacturers (ASUS, EVGA, etc) do this selling new stuff as refurbished with much less warranty overhang.
Those things suck and lots of file system errors.
Work-able if u want to deal with the hassle of also using file recovery software.

THEY DO NOT HONOR WARRANTY. THEY WILL JUST TAKE UR DRIVE AND NEVER SEND YOU REPLACEMENT, AND ALSO REFUSE TO SEND BACK THE ORIGINAL DRIVE.
WD have the absolute lowest 1/5 star review on BBB, even though BBB is known for selling reputation for the right amount of money. This means WD is so bad, even with purchased reputation, BBB only decide to give them 1 star. https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-jos...216-388853
