b) it can be cheap cables vs good ide ata-100 cables that is
NOT stripped into itty bitty strands nor longer than 18"

c) your disk could be running hotter than it should be
d) somebody in the food chain "dropped it" ( aka "toss the box
around" ) before you bought it but sold it to you anyway ...
e) if it's the 16GB - 40GB ibm deskstar drives made in thailand, than
throw those drives away ...
f) if you're having disk drive propblems... backing it up now,
will only aggrevate the situation and/or you should be worried
that the backup you just did is correct vs corrupted
- old backup data should never be overwritten with new backups
