Was the drive clicking and/or spinning down ?
Was the drive detected at all by BIOS with correct model and capacity ?
What was the "initial" problem of the drive ?
After all this might be just a drive with something like a "slow issue" and a patch of bad sectors ...
If you would work with WD Zeus family before, you wouldn't expected "easy cake" case. According to our expirience 9 out of 10 disks from this family are comming with heads issues. And this ones not an easy to deal. With donors will be nightmare aswell.
I trust to provided report, but price realy a bit high even for this kind of drive.
