The WD's are a strange breed of drives. I've had disks fail in the
first few weeks of them being bought, replacement disks fail too. Yet
there are cases like the two 45 Gb atapi disks I now use on my
workstation at home that work great for more than 1.5 year now,
without EVER showing any problem at all.
