These are very durable drives.  We have never had one fail even under some
pretty hot conditions (like so hot you cannot hold onto the sides without
gloves).  As a note - make sure you enable track caching on the drive.
The default as shipped is off. Why? I don't know because it speeds up
serial transfer rates by a factor of 2.
