Title: Two WD800 HD failures at 2.5 year mark
Review: I must concur with the previous negative reviews of this HD. My husband bought a Western Digital 80G HD in spring 03 and the motor failed Dec 05. My computer came OEM with a Western Digital 80G in Summer of 03 and it failed 2 wweeks after the other one. Motor again. Drive had 20+ gigs of wedding and baby photos. Irreplaceable. Both computers were UPS protected and medium to light use. Mine was 100% original, used only for email and photo storage (and a little solitaire). No power robbing add-ons, no ventilation issues.If your data is important to you DO NOT BUY this drive, and I would question any WD product if this is how they handle a defective product. I have no axe to grind other than the failure of these two hard drives.
