Ocuk hard drive a dud?

[C64]

does that mean i should rma it? i only got this delivered yesterday
i'll be damned paying another £10 to post it back for a £42 hard drive
It fails benchmark test on hd tune says read error !
it fails hd tach quick test also hmmm why is it saying dma mode 5 aswell
isnt that normal ide speed? would explain why i couldnt do an ntfs slow format on it ive changed the connector to the purple sata slots on the ds3 im now
at dma mode 6 shouldnt i be dma mode 7?

18/01/07 made in thailand i think it's definately faulty
fails every hd test application going and i cannot even format it
which stops at about 69-70% done which would tie in with the bad sectors.
That will teach me to buy wd,never again after this experience.
I guess wd have changed their quality control i have 2 older wd ide that have been going for years just fine.I guess things have changed.
The most annoying thing is now i'll have to pay around £10 just to rma a faulty
product so annoying there should be refunded postal costs for things like this.

Hehe yea i guess i've been lucky that's my first doa in 10 years.
NO WONDER I COULD'NT FORMAT THE DAMN THING.
got to laugh though thank god it was cheap wont be making same mistake ever again though samsung spinpoint t or seagate methinks.
