Recently converted some stuff from 80Gb 5400's onto some of the 250Gb's - no problems yet, but it's early into the 3 years
I've seen a lot of drive failures recently, usually about 3-6 months after warrantee expires so I'm advising people I support to either ensure their backups are good, recent, and readable, and/or to move their data onto new drives as the existing drives reach the end of their warrantee period. I'm not recommending Hitachi specifically just pointing out that they do have a 3 year warrantee, and I've not come across any failures with the 120Gb's I started installing about 2 years ago.
