Usually it's easier to exchange with the seller (if you are still within the return period).
If you do go with WD directly, make sure you are getting a new drive with the full warranty, and not one that is recertified.
Thank you Stephen,
Good advice.
I bought the HDD from Amazon; I got it on Friday, October 9, 2020.
In the past I've had good experience dealing with WD. They would send me an advance replacement and return label.But this time I will return the HDD to the seller as per your suggestion.
It is my first time dealing with Amazon. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for all your help and advice.
