i bought 2 of them and now i hear high pitch sounds from the drives sounds like a bearing problem or something.

when windows is loading up i can hear the drive make a scratch sound right after the boot screen finishes this has never happened to me before and i am about to rma both drives.

has anyone else had any problems with the wd 200gbs from newegg?

Got a 200GB recently(not from Newegg, but that shouldn't matter), and its quiet. Run the WD diagnostic software from the CD and see if a problem is picked up.

a person who bought a couple of 200gbs from newegg said that the drives he got ending in A0 failed first and both my drives end in A0.

wd tools didnt show any problem but i can hear both drives over my 120's so i know there has to be a problem there since storagereview rated the 200gb jb's to be quieter than the 120gb jb's.
