I am royally pissed off right now at Western Digital. A first I defended their product when people were saying that it sucks. Now I am truly against the product. I bought my 100gb hard drive in November of 2002 and it died in December 2003 so I complained and they replaced it. So I get the new drive and again I get a SMART hard drive failure 5 months after getting the new one. So instead of setting up an RMA now I am waiting to talk to their tech support and complain about their product.

This is just me venting. Oh and unlike the first time I was able to recovery all the data. Gotta love having another 120gb drive to back data up on.

Thanks for listening.

I have one and haven't had any problems with it...mind you it is my slave but w/e...

Ya my 120gb Maxtor is my Primary Master and my 100gb Western Digital is my Primary Slave

Thats mucked up, you lost everything! Can't they do something to reimburse you or anything?

The first time I lost everything, this time I was able to recover what I needed on 2 of the 3 partitions (the 3rd partition was just ghost backups so I was ok)

yeah and i think that western digital that uses the 39th pin cable in the ide cable to determine which drive is slave. so if you cut that pin to do a mod you loose the functionality of the drive in your system


edit: nope  its mostly maxtor that does that. mod guide link

I have an 80GB WD hard drive, no problems at the moment (and I had a 20GB WD hard drive before, never had any problems).

Ya, mine's 120 gb's and I've had it since January, I believe....never any problems...

I guess its just me with shitty luck from WD. Well I will post a reply of what they say.

I have 2 80 GB hard drives... no problems here!
