      Yeah, we had 1 or 2 36G fail within about 3-6 months.
No big deal, NetApp had replacements on the way within a few hours.

I think I remember hearing that you have the most disk failures at the
beginning of the disks life.

Hi,
I have had to replace two of our 36Gb Seagate Cheetah disks in the last 3
months. This is on a shelf that's just over a year old. Has anyone else
noticed these disks fail regularly?
