I started having problems with these drives back in July. I had two go out within 3 weeks of eachother. They both went the way of clicking. I have sense gone threw 3 refurbs drives plus the 2 most recent ones just went out so thats a grand total of 5 dead drives in 5 months. And no its not something I'm doing. I have a 60gig maxtor that has been in my system this whole time that has gone without one complaint or error. The last drive I got lasted only 3 days running before waking me at 5:30 in the morning with clicking noise and my raid controller beeping. The other drive clicks whenever I do anything remotely disk intenstive as in copying large files, scandisk, and defrag. I am going to send them both in to WD yet again however I am going to call them to complain because this is getting rediculous, not to mention it is costing me money to send the drives in. I am also not overclocking at the moment nor have I recently in the past 3 months.

I am curious if others have been having the same trouble with WD drives.

thanks

I just got a WD800JB.... I sure hope nothing goes wrong with it...

I replaced my IBM DeskStar 60GXP because it was/is on the verge of dying.
 
All my hard drives are WD's. I have no problems. I'm using a 40Gig and an 80Gig in my main pc, and I have an ancient 1Gig in the computer in my car, along with a 10Gig. The other computers in my house aren't mine, so I don't know what's in them, but I do know that a good portion of those hard drives are also WD's. It's been a very long time since I've seen a HD fail. The last one, which was years ago, probably wasn't even a WD, but I can't be completely sure because it was so long ago.
