Re: Critical design flaw in some Western Digital Caviar Green drives
the last Hitachi drives i bought were years ago from Maplin. They were 160GB IDE and had 3 of them within 6 weeks as they just kepy dying and in the end they exchanged for a Seagate. What i found funny was when i was talking to the so called technician there he had just said to me "Its funny because you are the only one who had brought any of these back", with that one of his collegues came through the door with another one in his hand and said "We have had another one of these bloody drives back again". I said well "really so im the only one am i?" and he didnt know where to look lol. I did laster find out that apparently around that time Maplin were apparently selling off remanufactured drives as totally new drives.
