Harddrives are the least reliable part of your computer...

You should check. Often the store will only provide a short term warranty... but the drives themselves may still be under the manufacturer's warranty... at least that's the case with desktop drives.

Whoa, 15 day warranty! Definitely a big no no! Like lostbob says, hard drives are prone to failing.

It's Newegg. I would've jumped. Newegg will do you right. Always.

I don't even say that about my own mother!
