I think there aren't any, not by WD anyway ;-)

Yep, me too. I've heard from two sources that about 50% of all AC31600
drives fail.
My dealer told me he had 50% failure on HP machines he sold.
Also: check out this article:

I traded my WD 31600 for a seagate medalist 2,5 Gb (rocks!), no more WD
for me.
