You're obviously on the defensive for whatever reason. (Trolling!).

Even moreso! The latest post shows 8 drives failing for one user! Read all
about it:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148316.
41% of the reviews rate it VERY POOR (one star, probably because it may not
be possible to give zero stars). 50% rate the product 2 stars or less. It's
clearly a defective product being delivered for whatever reason.

OK troll. Buh bye!
Logical users who aren't trolls and have the ability to reason, please post
your experiences with this drive model as something is obviously awry.
