I aint being funny, but i do fix computers and build theme and have done since the age of Nine.
I still have a hard disc working without a Bad Sector or Caution light and guess what is from the good old days of 5.25" 4GB.
The fact is on my other laptops to which have various drives namely Western Digital i don't have a issue in fact only 1 WD Drive has died in the base 3 years.
The New Laptop the 750GB XT is in currently has been placed in correctly so that is not the issue.
The issue is simple Drives are not made like they are used to full stop. Old Drives would withstand a drop from a height now try it on a new one and good luck getting it working after.
Now considering i mainly a gamer the drive does get a good thrashing nearly 16-17 hours a day. Laptop is on 24/7. Temp wise of the laptop is no issue.
So although your words about the chances of two going might be true when i get the slightest slow down the first thing i do is check the drive because the data on said drive is to important.
And Since the XT 750GB is playing up i am hoping to be third time lucky. Also no credit card is required you see i am not like the few whom try it on. I am trust worthy so if i say i will return the drive back i will.
Now to add another note forgot to add this there was 8 Errors in total from Seagate DOS to do with C5 and C6, it promptly did something after and i am not sure what.
But at the end of the day under 2 months nothing should be going wrong.
