Review title: I hate Western Digital! Bought 2 drives - 4months ltr one dead!
Product review: I built my 'super computer' a year ago with two of these drives. I have used Maxtor drives for the past 20 years with NO problems. I decided to try WD because of the price and recommendations. Built my desktop beast with screaming Intel Dual Core plus 4GB ram (a lot at the time), 500 Meg Video, two 500gb WD drives. Everything was fine until only 4 months ... my main drive began clicking. Boot would see the drive but windows XP did not! I was mortified!!!!! I tried everything but could no longer access the drive!!!! So my success rate with Western Drives is 50% which is horrible!My success rate with Maxtor drives (I have owned over ten) is 100%. This does not speak well for WD.I tried to get support for this drive and couldn't get any. They said I could get my money back. I WANTED MY DATA BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Western Digital - Never again.................
