Thanks for the news. I happen to have a 250GB WD too. :Q

Now thinking of getting a large-capacity Seagate to insure my data up the a$$.

Been using WD for many years and have only had a problem with the 1st gen raptors (heat issue), but other than that they have been great. Just bad luck I guess.

Got a 160GB WD SATA drive running just fine for over 4.5 months now. hope it lasts as long as my old Seagate IDE (5 years of long service)...

I've only had one HD fail completely on me, the IBM Deathstar no less.

I have only used WD drives and never had anyone of them fail on me. Have the 200 GB one for 1 year now and working as solid as ever. Had 3x60 GB WD drives for last 3-4 yeara and still going strong. Personally, I love WD drives.
