Well I think my experience with WD6400BEVT is getting worst every day.
Yes Im still thinking this drive is loud, but now things are getting really bad.
Today I decided to backup some images and other files( that are bigger than 4GB) to my usb external HD and in the middle of the copy my MBP just became unresponsible ( spinning wheel of death) :confused:
Well.. I decided to run a couple of test to isolate the problem, and to my surprise my data cable, case and HD were fine, then I decided to use one of my time machine HD in my MBP as main HD and execute the same copy , now using WD as external drive, and everything was ok... no problems at all.

Is my HD dying, or it is just an incompatibility ?
Here is a S.M.A.R.T status:

BTW. My Load/Unload cycles is about 6/min
