ATA Drive Issues

[Wil Hatfield]

Just never seen that before out of WD. Seen it with Seagate though. So I
guess it could happen. But there are 3 batches involved I believe. The 4
200GB could be from the same batch but unlikely. Purchased first two then
the second two a month later.

Whats so strange about the notion of 5 identical new drives out of
the same batch having the same problem?
