POwer supply failure

Apr 29, 2009

-   My two most recent WD external drives (a 320Gb and a 640Gb) have both done this during the warranty period. One AC adapter failed after 10 months, the next one after 6 months. I think they're using crappy capacitors in them or something. The drives and enclosures themselves are fine.

-   I bought 3 off and 1 started slowing failing by reporting format errors, but changing power supply fixes it...didn't last 3 months and yes I will be taking it back under warranty-   Guest

-   I have the same deal , I ahve over 320Gb of business data scanned contracts etc and now the power AC adapter has failed and here I sit, big problem. The electrical engineering firms wont even make a cable for me to just get the data off of the drive - as you can imagine this data is worth much more than the drive itself. They have offered me a replacement drive but cant get the info off for me...what help is that? -   Guest
