Recently ordered wd my passport ultra ii (white)from amazon but the my passport font were tilted downwards due to printing defect which looked ugly..That was not an issue until I figured 1tb was not going to be enough for me and came across this and the review was good but since my internal toshiba drive had gone kaput in year I am having second thoughts.
Hi Deadman,
First of all, as standard procedure, it would be best if you were to blur out your serial number.
Could you take a look at the sticker label on the new HDD and tell me what model number is printed on it?
Try to test the drive with SMART test.
As a rule, model numbers extracted by these testing programs should match the labels on the drives themselves. You can also use DLG for the testing of the drive, which would give a better reading of the WD HDD.

If nothing matches, then I'd strongly suggest returning it to the seller.
Hope it helps. Keep me posted.
