You arent cooling them properly.


BS. They have NEVER gone over 40 degrees C. They live year round
between 65 and 72 degrees F (talking about my own systems)


Then there is some other problem with the system
they are used in, most likely the power supply.

Nope - the particular units in question are running on dual conversion
UPS power - a perfectly clean and seperately derived power source.
Also running high end SMPS power supplies.

They start losing sectors after about a year, and
reach the undependable stage after 2 or three.


Have fun explaining how come others dont get that effect with those drives.


They do.
