I know exactly what this problem is.  I have a friend who personally worked on
this problem with Quantum for a company unrelated to apple and it's
products, but the drives are the same.

What happend was Quantum used gaskets witha chemical in them that
outgasses over time and deposits a film on the surface of the disk.
This film causes the heads to stick to the media, when this happens
the drive will not spin-up.  Quantum is very aware of this problem,
and is working hastily to correct it.  Although I do not recommend
it, you can temporarily solve the problem by tapping on the side of
the drive, with a screwdriver handle or somthing of the sort.
