Another hdd dead - Page 2

The past six months I've had hdds dropping like flies. This time one of the 1TB Samsungs has packed up :/ Just checked and its 3 months old. What the heck am I doing to these hdds? Standard stuff, machine locked up, rebooted and its degraded in the array. It's a storage drive so not really hammered at all.

So far in six months I've had 2*500gb Seagates 7200.11's die, 1x Samsung and 1x Maxtor I think.

I'm wondering if its something I'm doing but they all had 120mm fans over them. The machines themselves run off UPS's that do filter the power. Prior to this I never had hdds fail.
