If possible, can you post all the data on the label on the drive? A
mate has had similar problems with a drive bought from Software
Warehouse - replacement was OK- and I've seen problems myself with
drives from other suppliers.

I only ask as I've *never* had a DOA IBM drive until the last
two-three months & I'd like to see if there's a common factor - like
the DOA's are from the same plant/batch.

PS - include the barcode data...
