Thank you WD for replacing my hard drives. They actually processed extremely fast, I will get them tommarow, beleive it or not. Cool. They are new hard drives all together, so no chance of getting my old data back.

Which...also means theres a good chance WD didn't get to see the data already on the drives. You know thats sort of a scary thought, my entire life was on those drives, and I sent them to someone else. They could have gotten passwords, saw my pr0n collection, all my roms and warez. Scary.

Luckily, the drives were raided, so they would have had to hook them up on the HPT controller to see what was on them, if the servo motors were working correctly.

Next time I rma a drive, im sending it through a bulk eraser.

Funny thing, the two WD1000JB drives I had slightly different model numbers. WD actually replaced them with the same model numbers.

Ones a WD1000JB-00CWE0,
the other a WD1000JB-32CWE0

I wonder what the difference is, and why on earth did they give me a 00 and a 32 replacement. Id rather they had given me two of the same back. But...ah well.

Hi Tom,

I have a very big magnet just for that one purpose.

As long as there is data on the H/D, it can be retrieved off with the right software and equipment.

VERY Scary!!

Take care.......

Yeah I watched a thing on Tech TV and they got data off of a HD on a laptop that had sank on a boat on while sailing on the Amazon River. And another one with a Severe Head Crash.

As for the Model Num I cannot find anything about the 32CWE0. The 00 seems to be the standard model.
