I was gifted a HDD to replace a broken one for Christmas (not bought from here).
On the packaging the drive is marked as WDBH2D0020HNC
this one :http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=1287&language=1
However my PC recognizes the drive as : WD20EZRX
I started using the hard drive around the start of Jan and found that I was experiencing similar issues to the hard drive it took the place of. Instability when content from the disk was accessed. With both drives having mostly steam installed on them this also meant instability in games. So it took me a while to figure out that this new drive was faulty. I assumed I must have some other problem with my pc (rig is in sig, its an old rig). After fault finding by passing data around between all my hard drives I found this new drive was transferring data at 2-4 mb/s. But only say, 40% of the times I tried.
The PC would hang, and certain parts of windows would not function until either a restart of the system or the passing of some time (most of the time both), typical dying hard drive stuff?
Crystal Disk Mark shows no visible signs of fault with the drive or any other.
