Not that I know of... what kind of HDs are they?

Have you tried Googling for the model numbers (one particular model of IBM
drive *always* went bad, for instance)?

That might shed some light on the subject.

Before you assume it's the hard drive, though, I would downgrade and see if
you have problems. 

Back up your data right now, though. :-)

Later,
Paul
