575456 2007-08-02 05:36:00 I've got a new western digital hard drive that is playing up. The seagate tool said it was faulty, but the Western digital tool said it is OK. Has anyone had any luck returning drives in this sort of situation? hcl (10925)
575457 2007-08-02 05:52:00 Pointless using the Seagate tool on it.
And the Seatools thing is mostly good at bad sectors and not other faults.

Probably the case with the WD one too.

Whats its symptoms?
Are you sure its the drive and not a file problem?
Formatted it?


Seagate are very good with RMAs on this sort of thing, I recently sent one back to them in Singapore.

No idea about WD.
