Ok heres the story, turned the comp on the other night, and it started random rebooting on me.
I load up my x64 vista drive and scan my primary disk, it comes back telling me there are bad sectors on the disk bla bla bla in a nut shell its dead.
The drive is a WD Raptor drive, now the first one i got came DOA, and now this one has developed bad sectors, i also notice that you dont seem to get them anymore its all VR's now....
Its still within the 5 year warrently, should i just RMA it back to them and have them replace it, and run it again, or get a new drive and re-install,
I have most of the data i need backed up, other data when i try to back it up it tells me the drive is corrupt and cannot copy.
So if i go with a new drive, what do you suggest, should i stay with WD and try there new V/raptor HDD, or go with something else, maybe an SSD???
Its been awhile since ive been in the HDD market to be fair, so im not sure whats out there in the way of raw performance, so figured id ask.
Thanks
