    Recently purchased 2 x Western Digital Scorpio Blue hard drives, 2 x 500GB. Reinstalled the OS from scratch from recovery disks. The machine seems awful sluggish after installing the 2nd drive, will crash occaisionally when looking in disk management etc. I've reformatted the drive etc.

    Could I be looking at a faulty drive here?
    :confused:
