One every two weeks???  Do you happen to keep your systems next to some
sandblasting equipment? ;-)  All kidding aside, we have ~150 DDS2 and DDS3
drives and probably replace only 20-30 per year (and our computer rooms are
located in bakeries, flour dust is a problem).  If I were replacing each
drive 3 times a year I'd check the enviornment the systems are in.
Sometimes just moving the printers further away will cut down on the
contimination of the drives (less printer dust).
