Until now I had only seen some people say to avoid them... now I've experienced it directly. I bought my wife a new computer (so I couldn't choose the brand) and after FDISK and FORMAT C: /U the fucking thing just clicks repeatedly when you power on, and the BIOS reports a drive error!

At least it's dying before I install everything, rather than quietly taking out her data in a month.

I'm going to ask for a different brand when they replace it.
