Other Thoughts: I bought this drive for way too much a month ago (due to flooding in Taiwan). It worked great.. until yesterday, I came back from my computer being in sleep mode to find my PC on with no display. Naturally, I rebooted and came across an I/O error in the Boot/BCD files. I couldn't boot my drive. No matter how I tried to save it, I simply couldn't fix the corruption. I cleared my whole drive and reinstalled Windows 7, thinking it could be a software issue. I had to delete all partitions for it to finally work (dual-booting encountered the same issue) and now everything is extremely slow. It takes 15 minutes just to view "My Computer". This is a terribly designed drive and I doubt I'll ever buy from WD again because of this failure.
