Wow, I've been *blessed*, by comparison!  I've had two laptop drives
die and one "Zune drive" (I don't really consider those "drives"
even though they are  :< ).  Both laptop drives I believe died
simply from spinning up and down, up and down, up and down (you
get the picture?) from 24/7/365 use.

The Zune may have died from being dropped -- or, just a crappy
drive to begin with!
