I've owned 3 of the products in that list. I thought my Zip drive was really cool when I got it during high school. It lasted a couple years, until it started clicking when I was in college. The clicking got worse, and eventually it could not write without going into a clicking fit. It destroyed most of my 15 or so zip disks, and I think I spread the click of death to some of the campus lab computers.
A few years later, I bought a 75GXP deskstar hard drive, the 60GB version. It died in less than a year. I still have another one of those that is still working.
I also used comet cursor, but I don't recall having any problems with it.
