Looks like you will need to put the 2TB drive in an enclsure and try to run WD LifeGuard tests to see if it is a bad one. From all indications its not working at all. I saw several negative reviews, along with good.

Are you using the Marvell drivers and AHCI? If so you should try using the vanilla Windows AHCI driver. I use those rather than the Marvell myself.
Is your BIOS up-to-date? Any Marvell BIOS update will probably be bundled in the Motherboard BIOS update. Make sure you want to do this though, as you usually can;t flash your BIOS back to a previous version. See if there are BIOS release notes of changes that may address this issue - or wait for Intel support.

I will run an extended test over night, but I have a feeling the results will be the same. I don't think anything is wrong with the drive itself.
