I received a PM from WD support yesterday requesting my contact and SN of the drive and soon after, received a call from a support specialist. He requested that I return my drive to a different address rather than the usual RMA address, so that can test it and they also sent me a shipping label. I should receive my recertified replacement on Monday and will be shipping out my faulty drive soon after. I hope my replacement will have 124 on it and not the dreaded 129.
I’ve had the drive for about 4 months now and was extremely satisfied with it until the 129 firmware totally crapped on it!
