Purchasers at NewEgg apear to be experiencing high failure rates also. Check
out the product reviews there for a sampling of results. The original 2
drives indeed were packaged incorrectly (in bubblewrap) but the replacements
from the manufacturer were packaged in approved materials (2 inches of foam
all around). I've only as of yet installed Windows and ran some scans on the
drive that is still working (couldn't get that far with all the other ones)
so I'm "knocking on wood" in hopes that the drive is a good one.

Nothing like the failure rate that you are claiming.

> Check out the product reviews there for a sampling of results.


No thanks, the technical term for that is 'pathetically inadequate sample'

> The original 2 drives indeed were packaged incorrectly (in bubblewrap)


Funny that.

You dont know how they were treated before they got into that foam.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you dont have a clue about what reliability statistics are actually
about.

Bozo'd! Buh-bye now. (Your defensive posture noted Rod, but your lack of
reasoning ability is just to annoying to respond to anymore).

WIth Rod now ignored maybe someone can address the original issue which
still is: why are these drives are failing so much? Will I EVER be able to
get a reliable one?

Usual silly little ****wit child that hates having its nose rubbed in its terminal stupiditys.

Pity that it wont save its bacon.

You wouldnt know what a real defensive posture was if one bit you on your lard ****, child.

> but your lack of reasoning ability is just to annoying to respond to anymore).


What you actually hate is having your nose rubbed in your terminal stupiditys, child.

> WIth Rod now ignored


Only in your pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fantasyland, child.

> maybe someone can address the original issue which still is: why are these drives are failing so much?


Your system is killing them, ****wit child.

> Will I EVER be able to get a reliable one?


Only if the fault goes away, ****wit child.
