Third Take

I had two hard drives in my computer – both Western Digital Caviar SATA drives. One was for programs, and the other was for Sonar audio data. The audio drive died around the first of the year, and I had a miserable time getting it replaced under warranty.

The other drive, with my programs on it, died this week.

It’s also under warranty, since I bought them at the same time. When the audio drive died, I could at least use my computer for other things while waiting on the warranty replacement. This time, the computer is dead until I get a new drive and reinstall Windows and all my software. I’m not sure I can wait a month for Western Digital to fulfill their warranty obligations.

I think I’m just going to buy something else. And it won’t be Western Digital.
