Second hard drive close to dying

I powered up my desktop system this morning, only to hear an odd sound (probably from the hard drive). When I looked at the monitor, a blue screen was smiling at me. I didn’t write down the error, but I’m convinced that this 60GB Western Digital (like my IBM Deskstar 120GXP) is about to bite the dust. I think I’ll be getting a new hard drive. Karen’s Replicator will be copying my files to a my laptop computer now… (Note: For the record, I’ve had the Western Digital hard drive for four years.)

I’m definitely stoked at the simplicity! Did I mention Replicator is free? I didn’t? Well, it is! [...]

Nothing But Problems With Western Digital

I’ve had nothing by problems with this company as well. My first drive died with them, the replacement drive died a year later, and my experience is they take 3 months or longer to process rebates — which in my case, required multiple calls to the company to get those rebates sent through.
