Review title: Fails after a year, give or take.
Product review: I am currently backing my data up off of the WD5000AAKS. I got this drive to replace the WD5000KS (which is the same drive just an older model number) which broke on me. Just stopped working one day and made the clicking of death sound... Now back to the WD5000AAKS, my computer had been running very slow for a while and I didn't know why. Just recently I discovered that it was my hard drive. The read and write speed is for some reason extremely slow (it was not slow when I bought the drive). And by slow I mean slow! I downloaded the WD drive checking utility. It has a big PASS by smart test, but when I try to run the QUICK TEST under diagnostics it errors after a few seconds. Note it does not error when testing any of my other hard drives. Basically I'm never buying WD again. I lost data with the first drive and I feel as though I came close to losing more data. Might just be a really bat line of Hard drive but I don't feel like taking any more chances with WD.
