Doesn't everyone have an anecdotal story about how one drive make or another sucks? All of the big four drive makers are about the same in reliability nowadays, there's not much reason to buy one drive or another based off of perceived reliability.
on that note, cue VG's stock rant about IBM/Hitachi drives in three...two...one...
Anyways, I ran into similar problems with a Seagate drive in an external box. As far as I can tell, the external hardware came with a cheap power supply that didn't supply enough voltage to start a 7200 RPM drive reliably. It sounds like you might be running into similar problems.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
