The replacement service of Western Digital is simply superb. I got a drive replaced in 4 days. But you may not retreive your hard disk data....Any idea for data retrieval ?

where can i get this in pune.. i m getting same drive but at 5000 and that too opened... means its not box pack.. while i want box pack. as it contains orignal sata and sata power cable. while the dealer give some cheapo type cables with opened drives.. this restriced the brand image of drive manufacture.. bcoz this cheapo cables can harm the drives

Does the warranty hold if this drive is put into a casing? Is it advisable to put this in a casing?
