I had a very bad experience with that range of Western Digital's Caviar drives
- specifically the 40GB and the 60GB versions. three drives failed after less
then 2 months of operation and had to be replaced, one after another (it
might have been funny if it wasn't so sad: "Hi- I'm here to replace the drive
again. yes, this one doesn't work either, can I get another?". taught me not
to shop for harddrives at the supermarket ;-).
I finally got a Samsung and I'm a happy camper :-)
