warranty might be extended once you return yours. WD does that sometimes

WD shipping screwed up, I got someone elses RMA. the # on the paperwork that was shipped isn't mine, I checked online the serial that they say was shipped to me is a 40, not the 160... so they messed up

well, you could call them and let them know and see if they will let you keep it, or just rma your drive and have that be that.

yeah, I sent them the 40 now, and I will hold on to the 160, if they call asking for it I will send it back as long as they pay all the shipping, but for now I will keep quiet ;)

About a month ago I sent in a defective 60 gig to WD and it took them a little over 4 weeks to send me a replacement , BUT , they sent me 2 - 60 gig hard drives as a replacement :D
