well I remember after running one of my western digital drives without good 
cooling it died in about a year so I guess it might be it.

After western digital let me down like that I started using Maxtor hard 
drives they still get toasty but haven't died yet.

Perhaps you could run the HDD out side its case or whatever its in to 
attempt to give it max air flow then test it in windows or whichever program 
your using.

Did you also say your running it in a USB style caddy? if so do you get the 
same results when attaching the drive physically into the PC?
