This hasn't ever happened to me. I'm paranoid and rebuild my Desktop
every 2-4 weeks, so that might be it. If you use DTM, rebuild every so
often on general principles.

I use LaCie's SilverLining; it also supports partitioning. It also has
the nice feature of being able to tweak a driver for max
performance.
 
I have no experience with MicroNet's software, but am more than
pleased with SilverLining.
