Can anyone tell me where is this hard drive manufactured?.. I ordered the 2TB drive and have a 1TB that says Thailand. Could anyone please confirm?

It has to be made in some 3rd world country because mine stopped working after 6 months. Don't get it.

All 2TB+ drives drives are manufactured in either China or Thailand. It's on the internet.

I bought a hard drive from Go Hard Drive and had a problem. I tried to get warranty from WD and in fact returned it to them and they told me it was not one of their drives. I returned it to Go Hard Drive and they replaced it. Please, if you want a genuine WD drive, make sure you are buying it from a genuine WD dealer. Then verify the production date when you receive it and update the warranty with WD.

Does anyone know what firmware this drive ships with. The info from amazon does not list this. The first .02 one I think users mention freeze. The .06 one fixes some problems and the .09 fixes most.Amazon needs to present the firmware of drives with so many manufacures shipping bad drives these days.

Sounds like a warrant problem. If I read the Western Digital warranty policy correctly, it states that the Western Digital Blue hard drives come with a 2 year warranty. Check with Amazon regarding their return/ exchange policy.

Sorry, no idea. I bought WD (Western Digital) Passport as replacement. That seems better.

It's a typo on Amazon. The drive is SATA III. Hardly any drive are SATA III anymore. Click here -> http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1049&language;=1

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

Same problem I have.... I bought it through a reseller here in the USA and the product came from China no customer support they send you to forums to download software and drives... I'm ready to give bad reviews. Sorry we are on the same page

Looks like they are using Hitachi. One of my enclosures stopped working so I opened up the case to remove the drive and installed in my computer as an additional internal drive. The drive itself is still working perfectly fine some 4+ years later.

what I ordered was Generic 60 GB 60GB 2.5 Inch Sata Laptop Internal Hard drive 5400 RPM For Laptop/Mac/PS3 (60 GB), they sent me a Toshiba one instead. It is working very well on my laptop but I can't remember what Part No and Serial No are.

goto western digitals website and you can check the warranty status with the serial number that is on the drive. Most drives I have bought usually have 1 1/2 to 2 year warranties

I ordered mine on January 20 and still not a peep from Amazon...just visited the 5th avenue store and they had a shelf full of the 500 Gb model (no 1 TB models anywhere though...). Amazon should at least give us some kind of update on when they expect them!

I am sorry to hear that your product is working properly. I will say this though if you are looking to return the current product for another I would strongly recommend the ex hard drives made by the brand G-tech. Take your time and scour through the product descriptions to find the one that suits you best. When I was looking for a new ex-hhd at the time I purchased this one G-tech was a close second and only because the brands prices were out of my range.

D&F; S. I am sorry, I don't carry that exact one anymore .. Closest I would have is the Seagate 1TB with CC38.. ST31000528AS I think is the part #.. You could use this drive and downsize it if your trying to put it in a raid install.. Anyways, let me know.. Glad to help if I can.ScottAll Computer Parts

Well it clearly says 1 Tb Drive. I assume u mean the storage capacity, and that is what it stores. Although remember that it translates to under 950 Gb of usable space.

The housing indicates that it was 'Made in the Philippines' but I am unsure of the manufacturer of the actual HDD itself, or its provenience, as was previously commented. Maybe someone wants to do some surgery on it?
