Well my survey sample size is considerably smaller, but yesterday I turned
on the machine to hear a loud and irritating screaching sound comming from 1
of two Maxtor IDE drives. 1 drive is a little less than 3 years old (345MB IDE)
the other is about 2 years old (a 245MB IDE, which was replaced by Maxtor, under
warranty, after the origional died when about 8 months old).

On the other hand, I have a 7 year old Fujitsu 90MB SCSI drive that still runs
without incident.
