Well, I can't trust my OWC firewire drive anymore. It's a 120GB in an external enclosure I bought a while ago, I have no idea when. Recently it started to sound pretty loud, so I thought the enclosure's fan was cranking away, only to realize that it doesn't have a fan! The noise was the HD spinning up. Enough is enough!
I used to use it as network storage for all of our important files, so I move all that over to my Buffalo 250 HD. That drive had problems of it's own: over heating. It wasn't until I cracked the case open on that drive that it has begun to work reliably. It took me a while to figure that out as you can see.
Moral of the story... only buy enclosures with fan units on them.
