Just received my order from zipzoomfly of seven 1TB 7K1000.Bs, and two of them have the click of death (with some beep sounds thrown in there), and aren't even recognized two different computers (why must the Deathstars continue to haunt me!). What would you guys do in my situation? I'm going to be using them in a RAID array, and I've always been told its best to use drives from the same batch/firmware.
RMA the two drives to Hitachi?
Send the two dead ones back to ZZF?
Force ZZF to send me a whole new batch just in case something happened to the rest of the drives that presents itself later?
Something I haven't even fathomed?
Any/all input is much appreciated, I've never had this issue before, ZZF used the giant nice foam shipping box and everything.
