Bad componets

Hitachi Deskstar 500GB hard drive failure rate 100%. The hard drives in a rave system of four 500GB hard drives have all failed for the same reasons. The drive motors were frozen. This seams to be an engineering defect that is critical for long term storage. After contacting Hitachi on this matter, they did not seem willing to help. It would be my suggestion to look for another supplier of this hard drive to protect your data for long term use / storage.
