I have a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA-II drive bought from OCUK last summer that has developed a serious case of bad clusters and data corruption.
I downloaded the WD diagnostics test CD and tried an extended scan and it came back with too many errors to report.
The drive is still in warranty, so what is the next course of action
RMA it to OCUK
Run a low level format to see if that fixes it?
Im unsure what level of troubleshooting is required on a faulty HDD
It was a drive in a home server so Im unsure if I even want to trust it any more
