Actually, it could be one of several problems. Most likely thuogh its the head hitting the platters. Do yourself a favor and watch all his videos till you undertand it all before you do anything. Btw, thank you SuperFlyFlippingA for posting these vids.

Keep in mind the fact that he gets mre Western Digital dead drives could be as simple as the people who are willing to pay to get thier data recovered just happen to own WD drives. I have a WD drive tha still works, its the original 4.2 Gig drive from when 200 Pentium MMX was state of the ART, LOL. Unfortunatlly, I just lost alote of date and it was in a RAID O array. I think he just gets more WD drives because WD has alote more drives out there than the others do.

I had wd 60, 80 LB, 80 JB, 160 JB, 160 JS, and now 250 KS. They all still work. I lost : seagate 40 gb, samsung 160 gb sata II (in january 2008 - it won`t start).

I agree, I have a WD drive in this 2001 Dell 8200, although I did buy another WD drive, the old one I took out still works, and this one I have now, that replace that one is still working. And it's 2008 folks, and I run my PC everyday to.

I had 2 maxtors die, not able to spin up with a chirping noise. They replaced them, but with the same drive #!!!

Like he says: That's not a fair judgement, since the market-share of WD is pretty high these days. Funny enough, my personal experience is that Seagate drives die on me most often.

Well, it looks like I'll be buying Seagate from now on. I just lost 300 gigs of work (non critical, thankfully), so I'm going to invest on a NAS with Seagate drives in RAID 5. This information is extremely helpful though, thank you very much for uploading.
