WD20EARS issue?

[Chaoticseda]

I recently bought an WD20EARS-00MVWB0 while there was a rebate. After putting it in my windows home server it would not pick it up so I formatted it in my main computer.

Before I formatted it I got worried and began to look up in forums and google and came across WDL and ran that, it passed the quick and I did a extended which took 6.5 hours and it failed with error 08- too many bad sectors. This came up at the end of the drive.

Having it in my computer formatted it seems to work fine so I'm unsure if I should RMA it back to newegg.

I was wondering if anyone had such a similar experience and what they did with it, or what I should do with it.

I just ran a checkdisk though windows and put on the option to check and attempt to fix bad sectors, it said there was nothing wrong with it.

Thanks for your time

WHS does not support 4K sectors. Try setting the 512 byte emulation mode jumper on the drive.
