It's so random. OWC has the worst track record in my studio and with my clients, though I haven't used their most recent enclosures. The message is THEY WILL ALL FAIL eventually. All of them. For pretty much every brand, someone will have had one stay up for 6 years while another person will have had 3 drives fail within a year. Follow the precautionary steps and whatever drive it is it will last longer at least.
Another thing - they're not all equal in terms of using them for video. One of the reasons I've continued to use LaCie, despite failures, is consistently good performance (e.g., playing back real time previews in FCP of multi-layer sequences with effects without dropping frames). But that's ony the D2s, and only if formatted HFS+. Again, G-Tech has the rep right now, but they're young, and I still would not rely on ANY solution as rock solid.
