This is not absolutely true. I've owned 4 pcs 40GB maxtors and still own 6

No, I beleive the "Click of Death" came from the sound of a dead Jazz/Zip drive.
Anyway, I guess I got lucky with that IBM drive then.

Don't buy Maxtors, they are famous for poor quality and unreliability.
Western Digital, too.
Seagates and IBMs are the best. I have a drive around 10 years old
from IBM and it is still working. I have it hooked up to a server,

Sorry, meant no.
Most disk failures that I have seen (100+ disks, in DC's that have
1000's) have been when the systems have been power cycled, and the
disks fail at startup or just after.
Normal policy at some places is to replace at the the 1st sign of
errors, as you can factor this work in when

I'd say yes, as in most datacentres I've seen more disks die at
spinup/start up than during normal 247 use.

1 / I have been told by two large storage vendors that they "cherry
pick" the best SATA drives for their Enterprise Disk Arrays. You can
read this in various ways, I take it to mean that while hard-drives past
testing to be sold, they are not all equal (similar to testing and speed
