Title: Disappointing mid-to-long-term results
Product review: I ordered 3 of these 500GB drives between Nov and Dec 2008 to use in an external AMS 4-drive enclosure. I had a good experience with WD drives with some 40 and 80GB lasting many years without problems. However, ALL 3 of these drives started to develop faulty sectors a couple of months ago, just a few months past the one-year date of usage.I could blame the enclosure, but a Seagate 500GB drive also contained shows no such bad sectors and was bought in mid-2007! I understand one can ocassionally get a problematic drive, but three drives purchased within two months?
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
