Not real sure

I want to add an extra HD but like anyone I would like the best deal I can find so i came across the Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000KS 500GB at Newegg for a really good price but the customer reviews worry me. Not very good feed back...What should I do; can take a chance for that price,even if I have to RMA it as many times as it takes to get a good one..ha.....Does anyone know anything in particular about why this HD seems to have problems? http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingReview.asp?item=N82E16822136014

I've seen a lot of bad reviews for 500GB drives, but like anything you get good and bad reviews. With the amount of those drives newegg probably sells, they are bound to have failures and when that happens almost everyone will write a bad review even if they weren't going to write one.
