I think the COD thing is a bunch of sh!t. People abuse things, they break, and to avoid culpability, they say "I didn't do anything."

someone going over to a friend's house who was dumb enough to buy
a SyQuest drive, they take carry a load of stuff, including their
zip drive, and while fishing for car keys, it falls on the driveway.

Boom. click death. then they call iomega and complain and say
"The drive was just sitting there on it's silk pillow and it just
started clicking one day"

I'd be interested to see stats on how many internal drives had cod.

Someone posted on TMF quite a while back that things DO fail. His
toaster had "toast doesn't pop up death" for instance. Yeesh.
