I've got little respect for Western Digital, and I'm sure the reason they dropped their warranty down to just 12 months was because they expect their drives to fail that quickly. I had three go dead in a row. I do wonder how many people really do return faulty drives. Sure some will put up with them, others will just decide now's the time to buy that huge new drive. There's got to be plenty of people who don't like the idea of sending a drive with personal, confidential, or compromising files away. -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
