I'm kind of sick of my WD Black 640gb's, they make noises (buzzing upon access, clunking on extended reads) and sometimes cause explorer to lock up.

I've got two in a raid0, and a buddy also has two in a raid0 and has had problems with his as well.

Do I just call WD and ask to warranty them? I know they only cover raid on their RE3 drives so I'll be wiping them (just a reformat and a few writes/deletes to each individual drive) before sending them in.

I want to go back to Seagate, my 7200.10 250gb x3 I bought back in 2004 has been in a raid0 since the day I bought them...and are still in a raid0 with only one crash ever (which I think was my error anyways) and never gave me problems.

My question is, what are some comparable performance seagates?

Any one wana buy "brand new" from RMA 640 blacks
