Jonathan: if it were my drive, I would not trust it to store anything
important ever again. As for new drives, I have experienced hardware
failures with every brand I've tried, with the exception of expensive
SCSI drives.  Assuming that you want to stick with ATA hardware, I've
heard from Ryan Castelluci that Seagates drives are the best bet for
reliability.
