I experienced just those symptoms with some of the drives I've had. I've
used powermax to identify bad disks and RMA'd them. I can't remember if
any of the replacement drives have failed as well - I seem to think they
have but I could be imagining that.
I've had loads of problems with MaxLine II 250GB SATA drives and
wouldn't buy them again. But as long as they keep RMA'ing them I'm happy
to stick with them for now.
