Hi folks, well, does anyone have some experience with Western Digital's current drives, specifically the 80 GB WD800BB? Mine just quitted service for good with interesting clicks and then a whole lot of unrepairable errors in WD's diagnostic software. I'm currently in the process of obtaining an RMA and will send the drive back tomorrow, but I have read some horrible reports about this drive in WD's forum. There was a guy who had the WD800BB. It stopped working after three months, he got it replaced, the replacement died within a week, and so did the second replacement. He then went and bough a different drive. Now, I realize that other manufacturers (like IBM) may have similar problems, but still, does anyone have any experiences with the WD800BB or some other current WD drive?
