I've seen lots of failures of their gear in the field (diverse
sites). The percentage is high (roughly 3/4 within a couple years)
but my sample size is low (~20).
I used to think it was because they were poorly ventilated, but the
Google paper seems to indicate that's not really the problem we were
lead to think it was.
I also saw one of their units recently that sits below a Mac Mini and
it seemed to be of much higher quality than older gear. Very small
sample size there.
For small removable storage I've been buying Rosewill enclosures (USB
& e.SATA) after jettisoning half a dozen other brands from NewEgg,
DTBC (due to being crap).
