David,


You bought a lemon there.

WD are right up there with Maxtor as being the most popular drives
through my doors, accounting on their own for about 75% of all my
business.

Your usual statistical falacies.
All you see is failed drives.
You have no idea of what fraction of sold drives that represents.

If I were you, I'd destroy the drive and spit out the £50. Why replace
a crap drive with another crap drive?

Almost all 'crap' WD-s will live out their allotted five years.
And anyway, you can always sell it,
especially when it comes sealed as new.

Get yourself a Samsung or Hitachi or non-Chinese-manufactured Seagate
instead.

Infinitely more reliable than Western Digital.

Just my (informed) 2p.

Infinite is too big a word.

Just my (informed) 2p,
