I'll stir the pot a little, here....it's my understanding that
early FDHDs (like, over a year old) were a bit flakey. More recent
drives are supposedly better -- this I hear from three separate
techs at three separate shops (one of whom is my wife, so I'm a
little biased :-) ).
 
The secretary in our office has a cx with a flakey drive, about
a year and a half old, and we fixed it by replacing the drive
about a month ago. Since then, no problems at all....for what
it's worth....
