Not having much luck with hdds

Well both my Samsung 1Tb drives are now dead/dying. They are:-
1TB Samsung HD103UJ Spinpoint F1

Both brought in November. One has totally died and the other has just started throwing SMART errors and dropped from the PC last night. Both have been kept in what I consider good conditions, filtered AC power from UPS with good ventilation all round and an 80mm fan turning over both of them. They were used in the server and only as a media drive, so very very light use.

Ho hum, off to raise a ticket with samsung support.

Before this year I never had issues with hdds failing...
