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?

Greetings
Nils
