I have had many problem with WD HardDrives in Linux and on NT. Problems
range form defective drives, clicking drives, corrupted inodes, data lose,
and boot problems where the bios stop recognizing the drive. In all these
case a new drive solved the problem. Furthermore, their warranty sucks!
They require you run a program to check the drive and send them the output
before they even think about making it good. If the BIOS will not
recongize the drive and replacing the drive fixes the problem then the
drive is definately bad. WD could not understand this. I've got 3 WD
drives here out of different systems. They are from 2 months to 3 years
old and all defective.
