Hey, just wondering if anyone has any experience RMAing a hard drive to Hitachi? I've RMAed quite a few to WD (due to my own stupidity, surely) and they are pretty relaxed on their RMA procedures. I checked out Hitachi's site and they seem to be pretty anal about packaging etc... they require firm foam materials etc.. does anyone know how stringent they are on these requirements? I know WD does a ship-first and you send the drive back after you get theirs (emergency shipment) but i couldn't find that option for the hitachi HDD... I'm wondering because i've had some hard drive controller cards (on the bottom of the drive) fry or go bad, and a swap from an identical/similar model usually does the trick.
Thanks for any help you can give ;D
