it could definitely be a drive issue as well. Awhile ago we had apretty bad batch of Western Digital IDE drives, only issues with those drives, none of our other drives, etc. Since then we've been using Seagates with minimal failures. Drives have moving parts and can fail, I wouldn't jump to conclussions.
