Thanks for the input, guys.
I've always avoided extended warranties on "Pro-Sumer" type of equipment in the past but if I had purchased it for this drive, CC would have replaced it with a new drive.
I'm sending this drive back for replacement but more than likely, the replacement's going in a storage bin. I bought a 500 gig Rocstor Rocpro last night and I know for a fact that it's a professional drive for audio and video.
And thanks for the heads up on the laptop. I'll definitely buy the extended warranty if I purchase a sub-$800 laptop in the future.
