the temps for my hdd tend to be at 40-50C. those temperatures should be OK, right?
also, i tend to rest my right leg on top of the computer case a lot. could that be a cause for the problems?
i didn't get a chance to run the extended test yet, but i'll probably do that sometime soon.

40-50C isn't too bad. It certainly isn't the temperature that would cause it to fail. How does it compare to your WD Blue?
I think the amount of force that would cause the drive to fail would amount more to dropping your drive on the floor. Heck, I've dropped portable hard drives a good 3 ft from my desk to the floor and they've not had any issues.
Yeah, I'd see if you can do some tests with the WD software to see if it can give you more details on the failure.
