Coincidence

All my drives marked "WD" had badblocks during my whole life, maybe one was Seagate, rest was completely fine.
It depends on personal luck, I simply have no luck to WD.

... sounds like hardware starting to fail, probably the HDD.

Glad to see you found the cause of the problem. Most of the WD drives I've owned have been ok. However, I would avoid OCZ SSD drives like the plague.

May I ask why? I just read a review, which claimed the Vector is one of the best SSDs you can get.
