DOA Raptor

Just got my new raptor from zipzoomfly and it worked great for the first 15 mins and then a noticable slow down and then nothing. I did the diagnostic, unplugged everything except the raptor to ensure that it wasn't a power issue, and got the error code 0007 which WD says is a drive that needs to be replaced. So here is the meat of the thread.

How many people have gotten DOA raptors?

I have been reading about those for quite some time and have not seen alot (if any) DOA's.

Mine was not exactly DOA, but it died very shortly after I got it.

Returned it, sold the replacement, got a Hitachi 7K250 and never looked back.
