I have two of these drives and 14-15 people purchased this drive on my recommendation. Not one of them faced any such issue.
I don't know what happened with you so can you explain what lead to this?
Do mention your Complete System Specs, including your PSU. Also tell me if there was a power surge.
How did you conclude the drive's death?
From where have you purchased it and for how much? Claim the warranty.
