Need new drive ... scared ...

[n7]

LOL no way.

That's not funny, but damn, it kinda is.

GL with the RMA

lol yeah, I just thought it was funny because I was so worried about Seagate ... I've never had a drive fail on me (new) ... I'm not saying anythin bad about WD, these things happen. A buddy of mine got the drive also and he's been cooking it for 2 days with no problems.

Doing the RMA through newegg ... so tempted to pick up a 2nd for RAID 1 ... you know, just in case

1/10 new drives fail during breakin. That is the whole point.

Hahaha. Funny how things worked out.

I think the problem is you knocked on wood in the beginning. It worked. The Seagate you didn't buy didn't fail. Your WD did.
