About half of all my drives are the Ultra 320 (I have over 160 drives in my servers) I have not noticed a higher rate of failure in these drives compared to the Ultra 2 and 3 drives. Personally for me, the late model Ultra 3 drives (especially the 36.4GB 10k RPM drives) seemed to fail a lot. I have replaced six out of fourteen drives from one array. However I do remember seeing an advisory come from HP regarding Ultra 320 drives late last year. You might want to search the HP website to see if you can find it.
