Four 1TB hard drives on test

1tb disks faulty

Over the past few weeks i've purchased 4 1tb drives (3WD, 1 Seagate) and all have been faulty. The first WD does actually work but slows down alarmingly at times, the other 3 disks refused to work at all. The system has been checked and is OK and the last disk was checked independently and confirmed to be faulty. The disks were from different UK suppliers. I have been through quite a few disks in the past but never had anything like this out of the box failure rate. anyone else had similar issues?
