According to my experience, there is a problem with Quantum Fireball drives, not with linux. I once had two 3 GB scsi Quantum FB. Both died within one year (first they have a hard time spinning up, and, after two months, they are not detected anymore).
As far as I know, among very cheap drives, IBM and Seagate drives are much better. Do not quote me on this, though. Cheap drives are not intended to spin on a permanent basis, so your mileage may vary.
