i bought it through the egg and had no problem with the rma. one of the many reasons i buy through them.
I would have RMA ed the drive too. What ever the reason, a good drive shouldn't have bad sectors. If you have bad sectors, the drive got a serious issue and needs to be changed as a bigger failure could occur. New drives are that way. Few years ago, there was no security and the heads could litterally fall on the disks on a bad shutdown. Now, if it happens, means your disk got broken
