 dentalBookshop Prime Shipping is Great, September 22, 2010

My Western Digital MyBook World Network Attacked Storage suffered a disk failure on its RAID. I ordered the replacement drive from dentalBookshop on Sunday, and received the part Monday. I had expected delivery Tuesday or Wednesday. The MBWE NAS was repaired and back up and running later that day. I am delighted with the turnaround on this order as I was down for parts only 30 hours.

 Great.... when it worked, September 30, 2010
By D. Eiler (Boulder, CO United States)

I purchased this drive in March of 2010 as a secondary drive on my computer. I used that secondary drive as a layer of redundancy to back up my files. I was pleased with the packaging. I was pleased with the ease of installation. And I was pleased with its performance. I should add that the drive worked perfectly for a secondary drive, however I think it would have been a bit slow if I was using it for my operating system. Anyways, it ran cool and was quiet. Six months later, the drive starts acting up. It begins disappearing from my computer, locking up, and throwing out all kinds of errors. Since it is a secondary drive, it is quite easy to diagnose simply by popping the drive out. When I do so, the computer runs perfect. So after running the Western Digital diagnostic tool, I determined that the drive was definitely failing. I called Western Digital and they sent me a new drive under warranty. All I have to do is return my old one within 30 days. So kudos to WD for having such a great warranty process, but I'm very disappointed that my drive failed within six months of use. Hopefully the replacement will work better. Based on all of this, I don't know that I would recommend this hard drive to anyone. I've had much better luck with the Samsung Spinpoint F3 drive. It has been rock solid for me. http://www.dentalBookshop.com/Samsung-Spinpoint-Cache-Desktop-HD103SJ/dp/B001U3S5S0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1285868446&sr=1-1
