Problems with my Caviar Green 2TB EARS

Will the jumpers affect the data?

To be honest, I was apprehensive on getting a 2TB drive to begin with. I went with WD because I always trusted them to have the best drives (and I still think that for the most part). This is the first green drive for me and the first 2TB drive as well and it seems unlucky that I bit the bullet on it as it’s an awful lot of data to lose (reasons for not having had it backed up were stated above).

I have all sorts of other WD drive: 2 raptors, 3 640gig blues, 5 caviar blacks just for my personal use, not including the dozen or so hard drives I’ve put into other people’s systems.

I guess lesson learned; always, no matter what, have a backup of your data in at least 2 places, no excuses…
