Thanks to all who responded.

The power supply is what I suspect, too, although this is a Dell PowerEdge
Server so I wouldn't think they use cheap power supplies. I'll look into
how much it would cost to replace the PS. The interesting thing is that
nothing else (not even the other HDs in the system, which are SCSI
Ultra2-LVDs) failed. I was also considering the possibility that somehow
one HD failed in such a way that it applied high voltages to some lines
that the two HDs shared in common (since they were plugged into the same
card although on different connectors).
