I think your WD Special Edition drive came with a 3 year warranty from WD, so you should have a free replacement. Sorry to hear you had problems--could have been reflective of that particular HD not the entire WD product line, (much like we read on the BB about SAAB cars)
I have not had problems with WD drives, and sources such as Toms Hardware, and storagereview.com, just naming 2, give excellent support for the WD SE Caviar 120/160/250 product lineup.
My application is not server oriented, just SOHO/ PC ---I looked real hard at the 200GB Maxtor ATA 133 drive before buying the WD. I guess I'll see of my luck continues on this WD drive-- FYI:our offices and IT people won't get near Maxtor nor IBM drives. I guess that was additional info, which combined with some input from this BB and the websites support, led me to the decision of the WD/SE Caviar drive.
So far, it's very quiet, and fast---but it's only a weeek old.
Don't have a Fry's Store in my neck of the woods in West Michigan, but sometimes Best Buy has the "opened" stickies on products--I sometimes thought this was a ploy to stimulate business (once I saw an entire row of "opened" merchandise at BB).
