Hi all!

I just got a new Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB, this one, and I ran the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostics test on the drive twice. Both times, I received the following - Error/Status Code 0223, which is - Errors Found - The drive has been repaired.
When I researched this on Western Digitals site, that's exactly what it means - errors found, the drive has been repaired. Drive may now be used.

So I'm just wondering what some of your opinions are. I was going to use this as a primary drive in a new build, do you think I still should? Or maybe use it as a storage drive? What would you guys do?? Thanks!
 
RMA it.. No reason to start a new relationship with a HDD out with any type of errors..
