This review is from: Western Digital 300 GB Caviar Series EIDE Hard Drive ( WD3000JB ) (Personal Computers)
So this was my 2nd drive that i used for downloads and storing and playing video. After about 2 years 5 months, it died. Before it did, there was no death rattle, but occasionally it would disappear from my connected drives list. I thought it was a connection problem, so I kept opening the case to reconnect, but it still would disconnect unless something was actively accessing the drive.
Finally after trying to upgrade windows, the data got corrupted and I lost everything. (This wasn't even the drive I was installing windows on!) I came to terms with losing my data and formatted the drive; however, it would not pass the Western Digital diagnostics test getting a "too many bad sectors" error. Well, I'm out of luck. This piece of trash only comes with a 1 year warrenty. The only way to get the 3 year advertised on WD's web site is to buy it at an inflated price from them! That's the end of my business with this company. Gooddbye, WD!. Will buy a seagate, hitachi or samsung.
