Download a program that will tell you your HD temps, (http://www.almico.com/speedfan420.exe) mine are running around 40-42C, but I bought a couple of those Nexus Disktwins to cool it down a few degrees. Below 40C should be good. Also your setup is not the best for cooling...

I would say it's probably due to heat, never heard of anyone having HD problems from leaving their computers on 24/7. I'm also a big fan of Seagate harddrives, won't buy any other brand, that's just a personal preference though.
