I appreciate the replies thus far. My case has been constanty at the 60 to 70F range. I made sure that the air can flow without dust clogging up the fans. The drives did not die simultaneously just within a few months of each other. Not all of the drives are in the same case, each one has 2, or 3 max. There are only 2 (3 max) in the case at one time and the power supply is a turbolink 400W. I have a another case with the same specs that I put the other drives in and teh extras I put in external drive bays. I have had problems even after rearraning the configuration. I have RMAed the drives before, and I am still experiencing problems. I already ran the WD Tools and they gave them a clean bill of health. I have defragged and error checked the disks before. Write caching has all been enabled. I have also tried switching the IDE connections. Some of the hard drives are being run off of the IDE expansion card that it comes with the WD drives and I have also tried switching those out. I think my machines are cursed

*hmm...a bit too many I's*
