I was EXTREMELY mad when I first started seeing errors, because I lost a LOT of data.. but I had most of the important stuff backed up, and I'm under warranty, so now it's kind of amusing;
I suspected bad sectors, so I downloaded HDTune Pro and ran a few tests. The tests were done with the drive installed in an external 2.5" USB enclosure;
Discovery of the bad sectors day before yesterday:

I plugged it in today, and did an 'error test' (did the test 2 times, unplugged from the PC each time, just to be sure):

I'd say 'this drive is toast!', but toast is less done
Needless to say, I'll be RMA'ing it today and hopefully getting a new one by the end of the week. Just thought you guys would enjoy seeing that all red bad sector report lol
