Beware of Western Digital
I've sent drives (on warranty) that failed to western digital many times. Most of the time I have a pretty easy time with it. But it seems every once in a while they "lose" the drive I ship them and try the old trick of "check with your postal agent" line.
Fortunately for me I have two digital signatures of two drives that I shipped. Someone named Emran Sateur signed for the drives - IF you can call it a signature (just a squiggly line). These signatures saved me from being charged at least $80.00 by western digital on my credit card. Of course, I contacted my CC and had them freeze all charges to my card temporarily.
Let this be a warning to you: If you ever need to send something on warranty to western digital, and you use their "Advanced Replacement service". That is, they send YOU a drive ahead of time but you have to give a credit card #. If you fail to return the drive within a month, they charge you for it.
ALWAYS GET INSURANCE AND REQUEST A SIGNATURE.
Oh, and western digital sucks.
