I had an old system that ate a lot of drives, and I think it was the power supply in that instance no reason not to get one that's over-specced for your current needs.
I know there is a huge reliability issue with the raptor drives. I think it's limited to the 74gb model they used to sell, though. I had two of them die within a month or two of first being installed. I installed a cooler on the latest one and it is still alive after 2 years, though it seems to struggle more than any 7200 rpm drive I've had in there, and I recently got a message that some operation or other couldn't be completed as the hard-drive was possibly beginning to fail.
