Raptor X 150 Bad Sectors

[BillHicksRIP]

Working away yesterday when the PC locked up and then refused to boot with BAD DISK messages. WD Lifeguard Tools refuse to even acknowledge the disk exists and HDD Regenerator v1.51 is showing a number of bad sectors which it can't fix. Are there any other tools that can, or should I just give up the ghost and pick up another drive?

I'll be giving up the ghost. Spinrite found some critical errors. In the bin it goes. To be fair, this must be the 15th WD drive I've bought over the years and never had a single issue, so the law of averages say one must fail somewhere. Won't be getting the newer Raptors again though. Still got a 36GB one from years ago that's still going strong, though.

Why bin it?
5 Year warranty, and you will get a VR back.
