HI Folks,

My new WD 1 TB black seems to be DOA. When connected it is not being detected properly in BIOS. It is showing correct model but capacity as 0.00 MB. I had 2 other WD Green working excellently, but this one has failed. Tried different kind of trouble shooting using disk management tools with no progress.
:@
Other folks also beware. Checked using google and Newegg there is 7% failure.

It is DOA which's quite normal with any hardware - at least the drive did not manage to die with some data in it. Get a replacement.

LOL at reviews put up on the Newegg!
