I built a new system a couple weeks ago - the Western Digital 640GB drive was dead on arrival. First boot, the OS installer could see the drive but not write to it, 2nd reboot is saw there was a drive, but not the capacity. 3rd try, brick.
And I have been having some issues with a couple Seagate IDE drives in my linux box, but I had just assumed it was my linux noobness. Now I'm not sure.
