I wouldn't base disk buying by a couple examples.  Also, I'd make sure you
don't have a heat/power problem.  Sorry, I know its frustrating.  Once I had
a Fujitsu Supereagle which took 3 replacements to find one that wasn't DOA.
And this was after the bug was fixed in the assembly line of supereagles.

My condolances and hope for better luck.

Jacob
