If they knew you were using it in a raid, and recommended it, then I don't know about your laws but over here in the UK I'd send it back as "unfit for purpose". Under SOGA (Sale Of Goods Act) they've sold you a pup and it's their problem, not yours.
(UK law assumes the salesman knows more than you, and so long as you tell them what you want, that forms part of the contract. Which means if they sell you something that does not meet the requirements you told them, they have to put matters right - either swap the drive for something that is suitable, or give you a refund. They can charge the difference if "suitable" means a more expensive drive, but a lot of UK shops would swallow the loss if they had recommended the wrong drive.)
