The MaxLine III's (7V300F0) with VA111630/670 firmware currently timeout on a weekly or less basis..
I have just one 7V300F0, so no idea how it behaves is a RAID. It's been fine apart from the fact that my VIA southbridge SATA controllers doesn't even detect it ... :( (Anyone else notice compatibility problems are through the roof lately?) The 8x 6B300R0 (PATA) have been excellent on my PATA 3ware. Untypically for Maxtor, not one has died yet (over a year) :) The 8x 6Y120L0 (PATA) died at a rate of about two a year. I mainly use Maxtor due to the fact that the RMA process is automated, hassle-free and fast. They will exchange a drive when the first bad sector errors start to show up and not insist on a low level format to "fix" the problem. The Atlas SCSI line they inherited from Quantum isn't half-bad either. What happens now that Seagate has bought them nobody knows.
