A quick question about HD
I have the WD Caviar 320Gig SATA 16Mb Cacher etc. I purchased it OEM and came ALive. All seem well, except One thing. Now this is my first time looking at a HD that is outside of the case, so it might or might a problem so bear w/ me x.x The drive come and work fine, except near the edge of the drive, the metal thing kind of peeled off. I am talking about the hard metal that act as the cover. Look liek manufacture defect of the encasing, because it is really hard when I try to flatten it.
I do not know if this is going to be a problem in the long term, as I would liek it not to, so should I RMA for replacement? I do not mind the defect as long as it not going to come back and bite me later. |

Well there is the possibility of dirt getting in the case causing you some problems. I would RMA if it was me. Like the saying goes...

There are not any, it is just the metal thing. Too bad I do not have any digital camera readily at hand, otherwise I would have upload a picture.

There is normally a small gap between the case and the lid where there is a gasket. If the gap is all the way round, then it is fine. If the gap is significantly larger somwhere in particular, then there is a defect and you should RMA the drive.

But wait, should I liek clean the HD before I return it? I installed the OS and some monitor programs and Rome Total War, crack version :P in it. My only known method is delete the partion. |
