It's odd to me to see a person who experiences so many hard drive failures, but I see it from time to time on forums. I am almost completely opposite of you, I have owned Maxtors, Conners, IBM Deskstars, Seagates, Western Digital, Samsungs, and the only physical failure that I ever had was an old Maxtor. I've pretty much retired my drives due to slow speeds or insufficient capacity over the years...but flat out failures are almost unheard of for me.
I'm always surprised when I read a NewEgg review and find a particular person who seems to have ordered 15 hard drives and 8 of them are DOA. Makes me wonder if they know what they are doing, or whether they have a bad power supply, motherboard or electrical power in their house. For me personally, my machines all run on a UPS...so power is always available and well regulated.
