Every single one of my Quantum Empire 1080S drives has died within 12 months
from purchase.  These drives don't run that hot, so I don't think it was
a problem with heat.  I have replaced one drive twice under warranty... one
was replaced with an Atlas which I hope will last longer.

I have several Seagate 1 GB drives and they all seem to run fine.
