My WD 80bg 8mb just went south.. Im still trying to figure out why though, no signs as to it happening soon or how.. Tis a mystery. No changes in configs, nothing, turned off my puter to move my desk, turned ot back on found my raptor and them ..................................nothing. Opticals fine. Windows loaded no WD.
Checked all settings just to see. BLA.

Oh well Ill look into it a little more tonight. Thank goodness I had my backup drive backed up with an external drive. Cuz I just got the Raptor and havnt sent my goodies over to it. prolly wont.


How hard is WD to deal with on RMA, Drive is still under warrantee,

WD is fine, just do advanced RMA, they send you a drive, then you send yours back in the box you got

Cool thanks!

a word to the wise, with all this 1 yr warranty bs now, i still buy used drives by maxtor wd etc..
but when im purchasing new drives for myself or freinds all i have been buying lately is seagates
they are usually about 12-15 more, but the 5 year warranty is way worth it, not to mention they are quiet drives

Accourding to the info I have here, the drive has a 3 year, my Raptor has a 5yr.

ok well you got lucky and got one of the 3yrs b4 they moved to 1 years

and the raptors do have 5 yr's on them as well- if i had the mean green id have a couple of them in raid 0- maybe in a few months

yeah, I don't like all the drives now with the 1-year, that is just BS
