I think i got a Defective F3 spinpoint 500GB because i installed it and put windows on it but no matter where i mount the HDD it Vibrates really bad. it works fine for about a week was dead silent but when i woke up this morning its just not right.

Even if you hold it in your hand the Vibration will move the drive in your palm (Very little) it shakes things on my desk and i cannot use the PC with the front panel on due to Vibration

Here is my dilemma i need a HDD Right now today or Tomorrow. because my 5850 gets here today and i want to play. im going to call newegg today and see what they can do for a return or RMA.

should i just get another F3 or try something else.

I would never, ever buy a hard drive at best buy unless it was marked 50% off. RMA the F3.

It won't get there tomorrow unless you buy another one and have it shipped overnight, though. Nothing wrong with having 2 F3s once the other one comes back from RMA, either.
 
if i order in an hour or two it will get here tomorrow. i live 3 hours from the NJ warehouse. what about the Westerndigital Blacks 32mb's any good or is the f3 16mb still faster. I planned on RMA'ing this one and buying another drive.

also are the Blue drives not good drives?
