Bar none, these are the worst drives we've ever seen, from a reliability standpoint. You mean IB/Hitachi “Deathstars” (Deskstars)?

A few years ago, I had three in 6 months, and just a couple of years ago, I had two in the same week die. It happens - the worst time for hard drives dying is when they are brand new (something was wrong already) or after a year. I had bad luck with WD drives but also with some IBM's more recently.
