Pipsqueak:
Both diagnostics failed.

What is the error . Please enclose. You could also download seagate tools for dos and do the check. The dos tool could be done only on boot.
What is failed? Test failed or the program did not work.
Normally bad sectors could be rapaired by diagnostic tool. WD hard disk, naturally last more years.
Boggin:
When an 8 month old HDD starts developing bad sectors then it's time to start backing up and arrange for a RMA to get a replacement.
Have you been able to check the temps ?
jraju:
Hi, If it is replacement with warranty, it is ofcourse, the best to do.
I also bought one and it got damaged due to external power outage, and i could not reclaim the hdd. If you could get back a new one as replacement. Good to go
Shane:
The hard drive is bad, needs replaced. You will notice the WD greens and such are their cheap models and only have 2 year warranties.
In all the systems I build I use the western digital enterprise edition drives, while they can go bad like anything else, they do come with a 5 year warranty instead :-)
This is the 500 GB model I use, I normally buy 2 and set them up in raid 1 (mirroring) :-)
