WD drive failing 3 days after warranty expiry

[chrcoluk]

turns out I am good on the warranty.

The warranty shown is if you have no proof of purchase so they use the manufacturer date, I brought both drives from ocuk on 30 nov 2016, and they using that date instead.

Also to kmetek, yeah 100% RMA that drive. Back it up ASAP.

download their dlgdiag and run tests, they will likely ask you to if you havent, mine fails the short test.

WD communication is clearly a level up from samsung I noticed.

Certainly don't trust it for important data anymore.
Also run WD's diagnostics tool

crystal disk info/mark
hd tune

i can't RMA because it was given to me free when i bought a GPU RX580 from someone over used market here in my country.
manufacted date is august 2014.
