DVR is killer on hard drives - I have a TiVo's in the family and they record 24/7. Right now I haven't touched drives in a couple of years - seems like if you can get some good ones they will last 3+ years, but many die in about a year.
What firmware version were they? If you use the original firmware (1A?) in a 1TB Seagate something like 25%+ would die within a year.
