like I said I havn't a problem with one of the drives but I know people that have had multiple WD drive fail soon after installed them. But they probably have improved recently I doubt a high end drive would have any problems Just ignore me lol.

HDDs have moving parts that can easily bend or break; therefore all of them have higher failure rates than a piece of solid-state electronics (like, say, your CPU). Don't listen to anecdotal evidence concerning hardware failure rates or else you'll find yourself in a situation where every HDD manufacturer is suddenly unreliable. :P

yea I know that all HDD have issues with physical parts thats why it's always a good idea to regularly backup. But I have heard of someone getting a WD drive have it fail in a couple of weeks then have the replacement drive die a month after that etc.
