Am I the only unlucky one or has anyone else had problems with these drives.

I purchased four of these 1Tb drives in January from ocuk to put in my two new Qnap TS 209II's one of the drives was DOA I tried everything to format it but it was having none of it, so back it went on RMA. Ocuk checked it and said it "failed manafactures test" and replaced it.
The Qnap station that the new drive was in has only been used a couple of times and quess what, yep - this Sunday I was transfering some of my DVDs over to it and the alarm started sounding, I checked the admin page and one of the drives was showing as being in a degraded state, I've tested it with the WD diagnostic tool and it's saying the drive has failed :eek::eek:
For reference the manufacture date is 18/12/2008

Is it me whos just unlucky or are these drives troublesome, I'm a bit worried now as I've got over three hundred Gig of music on the other Qnap :(
