  • "Worked till after warranty expired."

    Pros: Low cost, quiet.

    Cons: Quit after 3yrs. 10 months. Been having problems with WD drives not lasting very long after warranty expires. Some right after 3 yrs.

    Summary: To: "Keep it Cool" This drive was in a PC that the case never even got warm to touch. I'm a firm believer in cooling. So it's not the temperature doing it. Have not had problems with WD drives till the last 3 to 4 yrs. Since then all the blue drives don't last. Have a Black that's running good. Have had 2 Raptor drives fail the same way. Using WD's test disk to confirm the drives are bad. So far the Green and Black drives are still running but they are not out of warranty yet. Will see what happens. That's 4 Blue and 2 Raptors in the last 5 yrs. that have failed me.
