   I have a WD20EARS-00MVWB0 that has been chugging along happily for
6 months now. You are bound to be unlucky sooner or later. I don't think
the WD problem is a sign of a bigger issue. 

   I don't think it's a case of Western Digital catching whatever it was
that Seagate had 2 years ago... '-)

   You just have to be vigilant in general and take steps to safeguard
your data as appropriate for what is is and how important it is to you.
