Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
I had two of these delivered to me yesterday - both dead.
I would have throught that WD, being a premium brand, that this would not happen very often. Does anyone else think this is odd or am I just being a bit sensitive? |

Re: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
I have 2 WD Passport external drives, neither that big and they have been absolutely fine. Maybe a bad batch?

Re: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
Yeah, that seems to be the case. Just surprised with a £70 disk.

Re: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black
Must admit, I've got a couple of WD drives and they've both been fine (they'll be a couple of years old by now too).
