Q: Mac Pro hard drives going bad in one bay
Hello everybody. I've got a weird situation here. I've got a mac pro with four hard drive bays. I have replaced three hard drives now in one day, bay two. This cannot be three bad hard drives in a row. Does anybody have any recommendation why I might be eating up hard drives in just one of the four bays? This hard drive bay does not get used much and is usually spun down. It is for a backup of hard drive bay one and only runs once in the middle of the night. Thank you in advance.
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

To all who helped, I would like to thank you. This problem has been solved by replacing power supply (no help, waste of money), Western Digital Black hard drives (4 times, no help), and then finally replacing the Western Digital Black hard drives with Western Digital Blue hard drives. It seems that the old mid 2010 Mac Pro does not like Western Digital Black hard drives. Either that or I had an incredibly hard to believe bad (6) Western Digital Black hard drives
